Answer: 6.68km/litre

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance(d) = 187km ( to 3 significant figures)

Petrol(p) = 28litres ( to 2 significant figures)

A number, x, rounded to 1 significant figure is 200

Write down the error interval for x

Calculating the lower and upper bound for both 'd' and 'p'

Upper bound 'd' = 187.5km

Lower bound 'd' = 186.5km

Upper bound 'p' = 28.5km

Lower bound 'p' = 27.5km

Therefore,

Petrol consumption (C) = d/p

Upper C = 187.5 / 28.5 = 6.57894

Lower C = 186.5 / 27.5 = 6.781818

Accuracy answer for C = (6.57894 + 6.781818) / 2 = 6.680379

= 6.68km/ litre ( to 3 significant figures)

To achieve a reasonable level of accuracy, the upper and lower bounds of P and D was used to calculate C, which was then averaged.

Using 3 significant figures ensure that we capture the C better, instead of early rounding.

TV=3x-24 and VX=2x+1. What is the value of VX?<br> 1. 25<br> 2. 99<br> 3. 5<br> 4. 51
Maslowich
ΔTXV is an <span>isosceles triangle because ∡T = ∡X therefore TV = VX.

3x - 24 = 2x + 1    |subtract 2x from both sides

x - 24 = 1    |add 24 to both sides

x = 25

Part A)

His sample only involves days during the summer (if Devin is in the northern hemisphere), which would mean that the high temperatures he'll record are likely to be higher than the average. Therefore, the sample mean he computes does not represent the average high temperature for the whole year.

----------------------------------------

Part B)

To correct his mistake, he needs to sample every day of the year. Or he could sample a few days of each month (say the first ten days of each month). That way the entire year is better represented. The other seasons of spring, fall and winter are included now.
