Answer:

  8 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the given rectangle is ...

  P = 2(L +W)

  P = 2(14 +21) = 2(35) = 70

The scale factor to the similar triangle is ...

  similar perimeter/original perimeter = 40/70 = 4/7

__

The dimensions of the similar triangle are the original triangle dimensions multiplied by this scale factor:

  (14)(4/7) = 8

  (21)(4/7) = 12

The sides of the similar triangle are 8 and 12.

Which situation could be represented by the graph?
Ymorist [56]

The correct option which resembles with the given graph is \fbox{\begin\\\ optionA and optionC\\\end{minispace}}.

Further explanation:

From the given graph the it is observed that the interval is [8,11) which is a half open interval or it can be said that it is a half closed interval.

A half closed or a half open interval is an interval in which one end point of the interval is included but the other point is not included.

For example:

In an interval of the form [a,b) the point a is included in the set but the point b is not included in the set.

Similarly, in the interval [8,11) the point 8 is included in the set but the point 11 is not included in the set.

In order to determine the correct option which resembles with given graph form interval for each option.

Option A:

As per the statement in option A the age of the student must be at least 8 years and not more than 11 years that is the age of the student is either 8 years or greater than 8 years and less than 11 years.

As per the above statement the interval formed is \fbox{\begin\\\ [8,11)\\\end{minispace}} in which 8 is included in the set and 11 is not included which means it is a half closed or half opoen interval.

Therefore, \fbox{\begin\\\ optionA\\\end{minispace}} is a correct option.

Option B:

As per the statement in option B the amount of money the babysitter can earn is between \$8 and \$11 per hour.

As per the above statement the interval formed is \fbox{\begin\\\ (8,11)\\\end{minispace}} in which both of the end points are not included in the set which means that it is an open interval.

Therefore, \fbox{\begin\\\ optionB\\\end{minispace}} is an incorrect option.

Option C:

As per the statement in option C the time required to complete a program in college cannot be less than 8 hours and the time must be less than 11 hours.

From the above statement it is concluded that the time required can be 8 hours or more than 8 hours but it has to be less than 11 hours.

So, as per the above the statement the interval formed is \fbox{\begin\\\ [8,11)\\\end{minispace}}.

Therefore, \fbox{\begin\\\ optionC\\\end{minispace}} is a correct option.

Option D:

As per the statement in option D the age of the dogs is either 8 years old or below 8 years and age of the dog must be greater than  11 tears.

As per the above statement the interval formed is \fbox{\begin\\\ (-\infty,8) \bigcup(11,\infty)\\\end{minispace}}.

Therefore, the \fbox{\begin\\\ optionD\\\end{minispace}} is an incorrect option.

So, \fbox{\begin\\\ optionA and optionC\\\end{minispace}} are the correct options which resembles with the given graph.

What are the relative frequencies, to the nearest hundredth, of the rows of the two-way table?
sveta [45]

Answer:       A                 B

Group 1     0.25          0.75

Group 2    0.44          0.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of people of A in group 1 = 15

Number of people of B in group 1 = 45

Total number of people in group 1 is given by

15+45=60

Relative frequency of people of A in Group 1 is given by

\frac{15}{60}=0.25

Relative frequency of people of B in Group 1 is given by

\frac{45}{60}=0.75

Similarly, Number of people of A in group 2 = 20

Number of people of B in group 2 = 25

Total number of people in group 2 is given by

20+25=45

Relative frequency of people of A in Group 2 is given by

\frac{20}{45}=0.44

Relative frequency of people of B in Group 2 is given by

\frac{25}{45}=0.56

Hence,        A                 B

Group 1     0.25          0.75

Group 2    0.44          0.56
