<h3>
Answer: (2, 3)</h3>
=================================================
Explanation:
1/4 = 0.25 is the scale factor
Multiply this with each coordinate of the given point
0.25*8 = 2 is the new x coordinate
0.25*12 = 3 is the new y coordinate
So (8,12) moves to (2,3) after applying the dilation
The scale factor k makes 0 < k < 1 true, so the point is closer to the origin after applying the dilation.
--------
Side note: this trick of multiplying the scale factor by each coordinate only works if the dilation is centered at the origin. For any other center, you'll need to apply a translation first, dilate, then translate back again.
Answer:
center = 98.6, variability = 0.08
Step-by-step explanation:
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean
and standard deviation
, the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
and standard deviation 
The center is the mean.
So 
The standard deviation of the sample of 50 adults is the variability, so

So the correct answer is:
center = 98.6, variability = 0.08
Triangles CPA and CPB are both right triangles. They share a leg, so that leg in one triangle is congruent to that leg in the other triangle. We are given that PA is congruent to PB by the hash marks on the diagram. Thus two legs and an included angle are congruent between the triangles.
... ∆CPA ≅ ∆CPB by the SAS postulate
Then side CA ≅ CB = 15 in, because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC).
... CA is 15 in.
Answer:
The 2nd and 3rd boxes are right, that is :-
* 2b is a term
and
* 9 is a constant
