Covert the ratios so they are all the same measurement type.

A. 5 feet = 5 x 12 = 60 inches.

The scale becomes 1:60

B. 1:30

C. 12 yards = 12 x 3 = 36 feet x 12 = 432 inches.

The scale is 12:432 = 1:36

D. 1 meter = 39.37 inches.

1 inch = 2.54 cm

39.37 x 2.54 = 99.99 inches

The scale converted to inches becomes 1 :100 inches.

The first number would be the size of the drawing, the second number is the size of the actual object

If you use all 4 scale factors for a real object that is 100 inches:

A would need 100/60 = 1.67 inches.

B would need 100/30 = 3.3 inches.

C would need 100/36 = 2.78 inches.

D would need 100/100 = 1 inch.

The larger scaled drawing would be B.

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find which scale would produce the largest scale drawing of an object when compared to the actual object.

First of all cover all units in inches.

In option 1,

1 inch : 5 feet

We know that

1 feet = 12 inch → 5 feet = 60 inch

So the ratio in inches is 1:60. It means the scale factor is 60.

In option 2,

1 inch : 30 inches

So the ratio in inches is 1:30. It means the scale factor is 30.

In option 3,

1 foot : 12 yards

12 inches : 12 yards (1 feet = 12 inch)

1 inch : 1 yards

1 inch : 36 inch (1 yard = 36 inch)

So the ratio in inches is 1:36. It means the scale factor is 36.

In option 4,

1 centimeter : 1 meter

1 centimeter : 100 centimeter (1 m = 100 cm)

1 inch : 100 inch

So the ratio in inches is 1:100. It means the scale factor is 100.

Option B has smallest scale factor, so it will produce the largest scale drawing of an object when compared to the actual object.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

14. Of the 400 students in the 8th grade, four-

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

8 or 9

Step-by-step explanation:

So, you first need to take 4/5 of 400 (320). Then, you can count by 75s for a bit

75students; 2chaperones

150; 4

225; 6

300; 8

now, you have 20 students left over...since one chaperone would watch about 37 kids, you can either divide the remaining kids up among the other chaperones, or you can add one more chaperone to watch the 20 kids. i don't know what the teacher wants, so either 8 or 9 chaperones

The Andromeda galaxy is 2.54 million (2.54x106) light years from earth. If light can travel 5.865 trillion (5.865x1012) miles in

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: 1.48971 x 10^19

Step-by-step explanation: 1-light year is approximately 5.865 x 10^12 which is 5,865,000,000,000 kilometers or 6 trillion miles in 1-year. The Andromeda galaxy is indeed 2.54 million light-years from Earth which is the closest galaxy to our Milky Way Galaxy.

The best way to this is to put this into a scientific calculator. If it shows 1.48971E19, the E stands for exponent and the 19 next to the E stands to the 19th power. That is written as 1,489,710,000,000,000,000 miles!! from Earth. That's a lot of zeros. That's the reason scientific notation is used; to avoid all those zeros and express very small/large figures.

Hope this explanation helps.

Consider a discrete random variable x with pmf px (1) = c 3 ; px (2) = c 6 ; px (5) = c 3 and 0 otherwise, where c is a positive

PtichkaEL [24]

Looks like the PMF is supposed to be

$\mathbb P(X=x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac c3&\text{for }x\in\{1,5\}\\\\\dfrac c6&\text{for }x=2\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

which is kinda weird, but it's not entirely clear what you meant...

Anyway, assuming the PMF above, for this to be a valid PMF, we need the probabilities of all events to sum to 1:

$\displaystyle\sum_{x\in\{1,2,5\}}\mathbb P(X=x)=\dfrac c3+\dfrac c6+\dfrac c3=\dfrac{5c}6=1\implies c=\dfrac65$

Next,

$\mathbb P(X>2)=\mathbb P(X=5)=\dfrac c3=\dfrac25$

$\mathbb E(X)=\displaystyle\sum_{x\in\{1,2,5\}}x\,\mathbb P(X=x)=\dfrac c3+\dfrac{2c}6+\dfrac{5c}3=\dfrac{7c}3=\dfrac{14}5$

$\mathbb V(X)=\mathbb E\bigg((X-\mathbb E(X))^2\bigg)=\mathbb E(X^2)-\mathbb E(X)^2$
$\mathbb E(X^2)=\displaystyle\sum_{x\in\{1,2,5\}}x^2\,\mathbb P(X=x)=\dfrac c3+\dfrac{4c}6+\dfrac{25c}3=\dfrac{28c}3=\dfrac{56}5$
$\implies\mathbb V(X)=\dfrac{56}5-\left(\dfrac{14}5\right)^2=\dfrac{84}{25}$

If $Y=X^2+1$ , then $X^2=Y-1\implies X=\sqrt{Y-1}$ , where we take the positive root because we know $X$ can only take on positive values, namely 1, 2, and 5. Correspondingly, we know that $Y$ can take on the values $1^2+1=2$ , $2^2+1=5$ , and $5^2+1=26$ . At these values of $Y$ , we would have the same probability as we did for the respective value of $X$ . That is,

$\mathbb P(Y=y)=\begin{cases}\dfrac c3&\text{for }y=2\\\\\dfrac c6&\text{for }y=5\\\\\dfrac c3&\text{for }y=26\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

Part (5) is incomplete, so I'll stop here.
