This is clearly a reduction meaning the copy got smaller. This indicates that the scale factor IS less than 1 and the only answer choice less than 1 is the first statement.
~~
Answer : The scale factor is 0.25.

I'm assuming that you mean

because if you meant

then u would simplify and you couldn't make it the subject.
Under this assumption, we start with

We multiply both sides by 

We expand the left hand side:

We move all terms involving u to the left and all terms not involving u to the right:

We factor u on the left hand side:

We divide both sides by 

Answer:
For this case we have the following info related to the time to prepare a return

And we select a sample size =49>30 and we are interested in determine the standard deviation for the sample mean. From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean
is given by:
And the standard deviation would be:

And the best answer would be
b. 2 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

The perimeter of a Pentagon is all the length of the sides added up
A pentagon is a five sided shape
so...
900+900+900+900+900
or 900*5
That is 4500.
The perimeter of the Pentagon Building in Washington DC, whose side is 900 feet long, is 4500 feet around.
Hope this helps :)
