Given the equation :

$576\div8$

We will use estimation to find the value of the given expression

So, the best estimation for the number 576 is = 600

The best estimation for the number 8 is = 10

So, the given expression is approximately = 600 ÷ 10 = 60

===================================================================

We can calculate the error of the approximation as following :

The actual value is : 576 ÷ 8 = 72

So, the difference is = 72 - 60 = 12

so, the percentage of error will be :

$\frac{12}{72}\cdot100=16.7\%$

A ferry will safely accommodate 82 tons of passenger cars. Assume that the meanweight of a passenger car is 2 tons with standard

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The probability that the maximum safe-weight will be exceeded is 0.0455 or 4.55%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Maximum safe-weight of 37 cars = 82 tons

∴ Maximum safe-weight of 1 car (x) = 82 ÷ 37 = 2.22 tons (Unitary method)

Mean weight of 1 car (μ) = 2 tons

Standard deviation of 37 cars = 0.8 tons

So, standard deviation of 1 car is given as:

$\sigma=\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{37}}=0.13$

Probability that maximum safe-weight is exceeded, P(x > 2.22) = ?

The sample is normally distributed (Assume)

Now, let us determine the z-score of the mean weight.

The z-score is given as:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{2.22-2}{0.13}\\\\z=\frac{0.22}{0.13}=1.69$

Now, finding P(x > 2.22) is same as finding P(z > 1.69).

From the z-score table of normal distribution curve, the value of area under the curve for z < 1.69 is 0.9545.

But we need the area under the curve for z > 1.69.

So, we subtract from the total area. Total area is 1 or 100%.

So, $P(z > 1.69) = 1 - P(z < 1.69)$

$P(z>1.69)=1-0.9545=0.0455\ or\ 4.55\%$

Therefore, the probability that the maximum safe-weight will be exceeded is 0.0455 or 4.55%.

Round 8.87689068442 to 2 decimal places.

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The answer is 8.88; You look at the number that comes after the second number (the second place after the decimal) and if that number is 5 or above then you round the second number up. (Sorry if it doesn't make sense, but that's the best I can explain it).
