Find the scale factor of the dilation. then tell whether it is enlargement or reduction.

  a) 1/2; reduction

  b) 5/4; enlargement

Step-by-step explanation:

In each case, the scale factor is CP'/CP. When it is more than 1, the dilation is an enlargement.

Even before you run the numbers, you can tell if it is an enlargement or not. If the dilated figure is larger, P is closer to C than is P'. If P' is closer to C, then it is a reduction.

a) CP'/CP = (4-2)/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 . . . . a reduction

__

b) CP'/CP = 25/20 = 5/4 . . . . an enlargement

step-by-step explanation:

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.
