$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{ratio relations}
\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccllll}
&Sides&Area&Volume\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
\cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}&\cfrac{s}{s}&\cfrac{s^2}{s^2}&\cfrac{s^3}{s^3}
\end{array} \\\\
-----------------------------\\\\$

$\bf \cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}\qquad \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{\sqrt{s^2}}{\sqrt{s^2}}=\cfrac{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{ratio of sides}}{\cfrac{s}{s}}=\stackrel{\textit{ratio of the areas}}{\cfrac{\sqrt{s^2}}{\sqrt{s^2}}}\implies \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{49}}\implies \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{5}{7}$

2. The ratio of boys to girls in the school

andrew11 [14]

Since the ratio is 3:4, and 12/4 is 3 than you do 3x3 and get 9 so the answer is 9:12 or 9 boys and 12 girls. To check your answer, you can do 3/4 (for 3:4) and that is 0.75. If you do that with 9:12 you also get 0.75.

Answer:

B) Method 2 will increase the standard deviation of the students' scores.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an instructor in a college class recently gave an exam that was worth a total of 100 points.

The average score for his students was 43 and the standard deviation of the scores was 5 points.

And now he is considering two different strategies for rescaling the exam results of which:

Method 1 = Add 17 points to everyone's score.

Method 2 = Multiply everyone's score by 1.7 .

And we have to check what will be the impact of these methods on the standard deviation of the students' scores.

For this let us consider a simple example to understand this:

Firstly, Formula for calculating Standard Deviation = $\sqrt{\frac{\sum (X-Xbar)^{2}}{n-1}}$

Suppose,

X X - Xbar $(X - Xbar)^{2}$

3 3 - 6 = -3 -3 * -3 = 9

5 5 - 6 = -1 -1 * -1 = 1

10 10 - 6 = 4 4 * 4 = 16

Mean of above data, Xbar = $\frac{3+ 5+10}{3}$ = 6

Standard Deviation of data = $\sqrt{\frac{26}{3-1} }$ = 3.6055

Now let us suppose that we multiply each value of above data with 2 so the new data will be:

X X - Xbar $(X - Xbar)^{2}$

3*2 = 6 6 - 12 = -6 -6 * -6 = 36

5*2 = 10 10 - 12 = -2 -2 * -2 = 4

10*2 =20 20 - 12 = 8 8 * 8 = 64

Mean of new data, Xbar = $\frac{6+ 10+20}{3}$ = 12

Standard Deviation of new data = $\sqrt{\frac{104}{3-1} }$ = 7.2111

Hence, we see that when we multiply any value to the data the standard deviation will increase and in other words it will multiplied by that value which value we multiplied with each data value i.e. when we multiply each data value with 2 the standard deviation also get multiplied by as

3.6055 * 2 = 7.2111

Therefore option B is correct that Method 2 will increase the standard deviation of the students' scores.

And on the other hand Similarly by adding any constant to the data the Standard Deviation will remain same. Therefore Method 1 will have no impact on standard deviation of the students' scores.

A group of students are meeting in the cafeteria. 70 students have already arrived. This is 35% of the group. How many are in th

sesenic [268]

There are 200 students in the group.

To find this, you divide 70 by 0.35 (35%). This will give you 200. To check this, multiply 200 by 0.35 and you will get 70. Thus making 200 the answer.

I hope this helps!
