Please see the attached image for a visual representation of our scale factor. We can set up this proportion by taking the DVD cover and poster values and placing them in fractions. Cross multiply and divide to solve for x.

The first thing we need to do is find the proportionality constant k. Since we now that the width of a movie poster was shrunk from 36 inches to 6 inches to make the DVD cover, k= \frac{36}{6} =6; therefore, the width of poster was shrunk, in other words divided, by a factor of 6. 
Now that we have our proportionality constant lest apply it to the diagonal of the poster to find the diagonal of the DVD cover. But notice that the diagonal of the poster is in feet not inches, so we need to convert 4 feet to inches first. Remember that 1 foot = 12 inches, so lets use that proportion to set up our conversion fraction:
(4feet)( \frac{12inches}{1 foot} )= 48inches
The only thing left now is shrunk, divide, the diagonal by our proportionality constant k
\frac{48}{k} = \frac{48}{6} =8

We can conclude that <span>If the diagonal of the poster is 4 feet, the diagonal of the DVD cover will be 8 inches.</span>

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

the club looses 12.50$

the club will lose 12.50$

(this psychic seems like a bit of a scam lol)

Which of the following situations calls for a hypothesis test about a population mean?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypothesis test about a population mean is done to evaluate two exclusive statements about a population in order to determine which is best supported by the sample data.

From the situations given, the correct options are

b. A recent study estimated that 20% of all college students in the United States smoke. The head of Health Services at Goodheart University suspects that the proportion of smokers may be lower there. This would require taking a sample and determining the probability of success.

c. A certain prescription allergy medicine is suppose to contain an average of 245 parts per million (ppm) of active ingredient. The manufacturer wants to check whether the mean concentration in a large shipment of pills is 245 ppm or not.

d. A report on the College Board website stated that in 2003 males scored generally higher than females on the SAT exam. An educational researcher wants to check whether this is true in her school district.

What is the side length of the largest square that can fit into a circle with a radius of 5 units?
Mariana [72]
So 1st consider that it's a square! That's very important. So for a square, all 4 sides are equal.

And now considering that the given information is the diameter. So any angle made at the circle extended from the 2 points of diameter gives an angle of 90°

Now consider one triangle. So we already know that 2 sides of the triangle are equal (because they are 2 sides of a square) , has a side of 10 (diameter) and and angle of 90°. So remaining 2 angles are 45°

Now solve it by applying

\sin(45) \: \: \: \: = x \div 10 \\ (1 \div \sqrt{2} ) = (x \div 10) \\ 10 \div \sqrt{2} \: = x
