A rectangle has an area of 24 square inches. The rectangle is reduced by a scale factor of 1/2 . What is the area of the new rectangle?

Considering the scale factor of the reduction, it is found that the area of the new rectangle is of 6 square inches.

The area of a rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

[tex]A = lw[/tex]

In this problem, the rectangle is reduced by a scale factor of 1/2, hence:

[tex]l \rightarrow \frac{l}{2}, w \rightarrow \frac{w}{2}[/tex]

Then, the area is given by:

[tex]A = lw = \frac{l}{2} \times \frac{w}{2} = \frac{lw}{4}[/tex]

A rectangle has an area of 24 square inches, hence:

[tex]lw = 24[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]A = \frac{lw}{4} = \frac{24}{4} = 6[/tex]

The area of the new rectangle is of 6 square inches.

What is the area of the triangle?

In a set of 1,000 integers from 1 to 1,000, an integer chosen at random on a single trial should be an integer from 1 to 25 about 25 out of every 1,000 trials, or one out of every 40 integers selected. A sample of 5 integers selected is shown. Does this sample represent the general rule for picking an integer from 1 to 25 in the population of integers from 1 to 1,000?

A.Yes - the sample is representative of the expected number of integers from 1 to 25 in a sample of 5 integers, which would be none or zero.
B. No - the sample is not representative of the expected number of integers from 1 to 25 in a sample of 5 integers, which would be at least 10.
