If point M was located at (4, -2) and was

Llana [10]

Answer:

The rule to calculate the dilation by a scale factor 1/3 centered at the origin

(x, y) → (3/2x, 3/2y)

Hence, option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when an object is dilated by a scale factor, it gets reduced, stretched, or remains the same, depending upon the value of the scale factor.

If the scale factor > 1, the image is enlarged

If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, it gets shrunk

If the scale factor = 1, the object and the image are congruent

The coordinates of the image can be determined by multiplying the coordinates of the original point by a given scale factor.

Given that the point M was located at (4, -2) and was dilated to M'(6,-3).

It means if we multiply the coordinates of the original point M(4, -2) by 3/2, we get the image point M'(6, -3).

i.e.

M(4, -2) → M'(3/2(4), 3/2(-2)) → M'(6, -3)

In other words, the image M'(6, -3) is obtained after the dilation by a scale factor 3/2 centered at the origin.

Therefore,

The rule to calculate the dilation by a scale factor 1/3 centered at the origin

(x, y) → (3/2x, 3/2y)

Hence, option D is correct.

Determine whether the number is divisible by 3.give a reason based on the tests for divisibility 72

snow_lady [41]

72 is dividable by 3. It is divisible by 3 because when you add 7 and 2, you get 9. According to the tests for divisibility, if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, then the whole number is. 9 is divisible by 3, therefore 72 is as well.

Suppose you are the manager of Speedy Oil Change which claims that it will change the oil in customers’ cars in less than 30 mi

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

The hypothesis can be defined as follows:

H₀: The Speedy Oil Change will change the oil in customers’ cars in more than 30 minutes on average, i.e. μ > 30.

Hₐ: The Speedy Oil Change will change the oil in customers’ cars in less than 30 minutes on average, i.e. μ ≤ 30.

(2)

Use Excel to compute the sample mean and standard deviation as follows:

$\bar x=\text{AVERAGE(array)}=24.917\\\\s=\text{STDEV.S(array)}=8.683$

Compute the test statistic as follows:

$t=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\frac{24.917-30}{8.683/\sqrt{36}}=-3.51$

The degrees of freedom is:

df = n - 1

= 36 - 1

= 35

Compute the p-value as follows:

$p-value=P(t_{35}$

(3)

The p-value = 0.0006 is very small.

The null hypothesis will be rejected at any of the commonly used significance level.

(4)

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the Speedy Oil Change will change the oil in customers’ cars in less than 30 minutes on average.
