$\frac{2}{5}(x-4)=2x^{(5} \\\\ 2(x-4)=10x \\\\ 2x-8=10x \\\\ 2x-10x=8 \\\\ -8x=8 \ |:8 \\\\ -x=1 \\\\ \boxed{x=-1}$

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Technician __Shutdown

Taylor, T___4

Rousche, R _ 3

Hurley, H__ 3

Huang, Hu___2

Gupta, ___ 5

The Numbe of samples of 2 possible from the 5 technicians :

We use combination :

nCr = n! ÷ (n-r)!r!

5C2 = 5!(3!)2!

5C2 = (5*4)/2 = 10

POSSIBLE COMBINATIONS :

TR, TH, THu, TG, RH, RHu, RG , HHu, HG, HuG

Sample means :

TR = (4+3)/2 = 3.5

TH = (4+3)/2 = 3.5

THu = (4+2) = 6/2 = 3

TG = (4 + 5) = 9/2 = 4.5

RH = (3+3) = 6/2 = 3

RHu = (3+2) /2 = 2.5

RG = (3 + 5) = 8/2 = 4

HHu = (3+2) = 2.5

HG = (3+5) = 8/2 = 4

HuG = (2+5) / 2 = 3.5

Mean of sample mean (3.5+3.5+3+4.5+3+2.5+4+2.5+4+3.5) / 10 = 3.4

Population mean :

(4 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 5) / 5 = 17 /5 = 3.4

Population Mean and mean of sample means are the same.

This distribution should be approximately normal.

Answer:

a) The new triangle is a reflection of the original across the origin. All angles, segment lengths, and line slopes have been preserved: the transformed triangle is congruent with the original.

b) The new triangle is a reflection of the original across the origin and a dilation by a factor of 2. Angles have been preserved: the transformed triangle is similar to the original. The transformation is NOT rigid.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The transformed triangle is blue in the attachment. It is congruent with the original. The transformation is "rigid," a reflection across the origin. All angles and lengths have been preserved, as well as line slopes.

2. The transformed triangle is orange in the attachment. It is similar to the original, in that angles have been preserved and lengths are proportional. It is a reflection across the origin and a dilation by a factor of 2. Line slopes have also been preserved. A dilation is NOT a "rigid" transformation.
