*Correct Question:
Based on the similar triangles shown below, Theodore claims that ∆TUV is transformed to ∆WXY with a scale factor of 3/2. Is Theodore correct?
A. Yes, the triangles are similar with a scale factor of 3/2.
B. No, the triangles are similar with a scale factor of 2/1.
C. No, the triangles are similar with a scale factor of 2/3.
D. No, the triangles are similar with a scale factor of 4/3.
Answer:
C. No, the triangles are similar with a scale factor of 2/3.
Step-by-step explanation:
∆TUV is the original triangle. After transformation, the size reduced to give us ∆WXY. This means ∆TUV was reduced by a scale factor to give ∆WXY. The scale factor should be a fraction, suggesting, the original size of the ∆ was reduced upon transformation.
Thus, the ratio of their corresponding sides = the scale factor.
This is:
If you multiply the side length of ∆TUV by ⅔, you'd get side length of ∆WXY.
So, Theodore is wrong.

Answer:
a) Binomial distribution B(n=12,p=0.01)
b) P=0.007
c) P=0.999924
d) P=0.366
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The distribution of cracked eggs per dozen should be a binomial distribution B(12,0.01), as it can model 12 independent events.
b) To calculate the probability of having a carton of dozen eggs with more than one cracked egg, we will first calculate the probabilities of having zero or one cracked egg.
Then,
c) In this case, the distribution is B(1200,0.01)
d) In this case, the distribution is B(100,0.01)
We can calculate this probability as the probability of having 0 cracked eggs in a batch of 100 eggs.
