<u>ANSWER: </u>

After changing the side lengths of the triangle are decreased by scale factor of 3, the perimeter of triangle also decreased by 3

<u>SOLUTION:</u>

Given, the side lengths of a triangle are decreased by a scale factor of 3.

Let the side lengths of the given triangle be a, b, c.

After the side lengths are decreased by a scale factor of 3.

Now, the side lengths will become  \frac{a}{3} , \frac{b}{3} , \frac{c}{3}

Before changing the side lengths, perimeter of the triangle is p =  a + b + c.

After changing the side lengths, perimeter of the triangle is \frac{a}{3}+\frac{b}{3}+\frac{c}{3}

=\frac{a+b+c}{3}

=\frac{p}{3}

So, the perimeter is also decreased by the scale factor of 3.

Hence, after changing the side lengths of the triangle are decreased by scale factor of 3, the perimeter of triangle also decreased by 3.

The standard configuration for an Arizona license plate is 3 digits (0 - 9) followed by 3 letters (of 26). If you can not repeat
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

11232000 plates can be made.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the digits and of the letters is important. For example, ABC is a different configuration than CBA. So we use the permutations formula to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}

In this question:

3 digits from a set of 10(there are 10 digits from 0 to 9).

3 letters from a set of 26. So

Total:

T = P_{(10,3)} \times P_{(26,3)} = \frac{10!}{(10-3)!} \times \frac{26!}{(26-3)!} = 11232000

11232000 plates can be made.

A college-entrance exam is designed so that scores are normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100.
Crank

Answer: 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A college-entrance exam is designed so that scores are normally distributed with a mean(\mu) = 500 and a standard deviation(\sigma) =  100.

A z-score measures how many standard deviations a given measurement deviates from the mean.

Let Y be a random variable that denotes the scores in the exam.

Formula for z-score = \dfrac{Y-\mu}{\sigma}

Z-score = \dfrac{625-500}{100}

⇒ Z-score = \dfrac{125}{100}

⇒Z-score =1.25

Therefore , the required z-score = 1.25
