Please help answer! :) How are significant digits related to calculations using measurements?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Marysya12 [62]2 years ago

The number of significant figures is the number of digits that is believed to be correct by the person doing the measuring.

<h3>What are significant figures?</h3>

It should be noted that significant figures are the number of digits in a value, that contribute to the degree of accuracy of the value. We start counting significant figures at the first non-zero digit.

Precision refers to how closely individual measurements agree with each other. In any measurement, the number of significant figures is critical.

ryzh [129]

Answer:

TanФ=-1.793

Step-by-step explanation:

Sin^{2} (A) + Cos^{2} (A) = 1

Sin(A)=\sqrt{1-Cos^{2} (A)}

Tan(A) = \frac{Sin(A)}{Cos(A)}

Tan(A) =\frac{\sqrt{1-Cos^{2}(A) } }{Cos(A)} \\Tan(A) =\frac{\sqrt{1-(-.487)^{2} } }{-.487}=-1.793433202

This question is Incomplete

Complete Question

Researchers recorded the speed of ants on trails in their natural environments. The ants studied, Leptogenys processionalis, all have the same body size in their adult phase, which made it easy to measure speeds in units of body lengths per second (bl/s). The researchers found that, when traffic is light and not congested, ant speeds vary roughly Normally, with mean 6.20 bl/s and standard deviation 1.58 bl/s. (a) What is the probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s? You may find Table B useful. (Enter your answer rounded to four decimal places.)

Answer:

0.7762

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

Population mean = 6.20 bl/s

Standard deviation = 1.58 bl/s.

x = 5 bl/s

z = 5 - 6.20/1.58

z = -0.75949

The probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s is P( x > 5)

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<5) = 0.22378

P(x>5) = 1 - P(x<5)

= 1 - 22378

= 0.77622

Approximately to 4 decimal places = 0.7762

The probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s is 0.7762

Jada says she can find 87-59 by taking away 60 and adding 1 so it is the same as 27+1 or 28. Explain why jadas method to calcula
astraxan [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Actually Jada makes problem simpler by adding and subtracting 1

that is

87 ₋ 59 ₋1 ₊ 1

so there would be no effect on our final answer because we have added 1 and also subtracted 1

Now,

87 - 59 -1 + 1

87 - 60 +1                ( ∵ -59 - 1 = -60 )

27 + 1                       (∵ 87 - 60 = 27 )

28

so the final answer is 28 .
