Answer:
See explanation below
Step-by-step explanation:
Since each time after the person gets off the scale, the reading is 2 lb the person's weight must be near the mean of
148-2, 151-2, 150-2, 152-2; that is to say, near the mean of 146, 149, 148, 150 = (146+149+148+150)/4 = 148.25
We could estimate the uncertainty as <em>the standard error SE
</em>
where
<em>s = standard deviation of the sample
</em>
<em>n = 4 sample size.
</em>
Computing s:
So, the uncertainty is 1.479/2 = 0.736
<em>It is not possible to estimate the bias, since it is the difference between the true weight and the mean, but we do not know the true weight.
</em>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-3(3/6) + 4(3/5)
-3(1/2) + 4(3/5)
-3/2 + 12/5
-15/10 + 24/10
9/10
Answer:
27000
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to round 27346 to 2 significant figures.
Now, the number already has 5 significant figures, so to reduce it to 2 sig figures, we will have to reduce the 3 digits from the right to zero so that we can have just 2 significant figures by approximating.
Thus, 3 is less than 5 and so 7 cannot increase. Thus, we will have 27000 as the number when reduced to 2 significant figures.
As is the case for any polynomial, the domain of this one is (-infinity, +infinity).
To find the range, we need to determine the minimum value that f(x) can have. The coefficients here are a=2, b=6 and c = 2,
The x-coordinate of the vertex is x = -b/(2a), which here is x = -6/4 = -3/2.
Evaluate the function at x = 3/2 to find the y-coordinate of the vertex, which is also the smallest value the function can take on. That happens to be y = -5/2, so the range is [-5/2, infinity).
