A company's contractual "trigger" point for a union absenteeism penalty is a certain distance above the mean days missed by all workers. Now the company wants to switch the trigger to a certain distance above the median days missed for all workers. (a) Check the appropriate distribution of missed days for all workers (symmetric, skewed left, skewed right). Symmetric Skewed Left Skewed Right (b) Pick the probable effect on the trigger point of switching from the mean to the median. Switching would trigger the penalty sooner. Switching would trigger the penalty later. Switching will not trigger a penalty. (c) What position would the union be likely to take on the company's proposed switch? The union would oppose the change. The union would be neutral. The union would agree to the change.

answer: the correct option is d.

explanation:

it is given that the triangle j'k'l' shown on the grid below is a dilation of triangle jkl using the origin as the center of dilation.

from the given graph it is noticed that k(4,8) and k'(2,4). let origin is defined by o and scale factor is defined by k, then

    (1)

distance formula,

put these values in equation (1).

therefore scale factor is     and option d is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

the given growth  function for the length of the fish (cm) is

f(m) = 5(1.07)m = 5.35m

where 

m = months

at the end of the study, the length is 9.19 cm. the  time for conducting the study is determined as

5.35m = 9.19

m = 1.7178 months

part a.

the study was performed over a time period  of about 1.72 months. therefore  the domain for  plotting the function is 0 < = m < = 1.72.

note:

if growth  continues at this rate for up to m months, then the domain would be 0< =m< =m.

part b.

the growth function is a linear function.

when m=0, f=0.

therefore the initial growth is zero, which represents the y-intercept.

part c.

assume that the growth function is valid for 0< =m< =9.

the average rate of change of the function is the slope of the linear function, which is 5.35 cm/month.

f(y)= y^2-10y+25
