Answer:

0.05 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The least-significant digit in the given measurement is the one in the 0.1 cm number place. The "greatest possible error" is half the value of that number place, so is ...

(0.1 cm)/2 = 0.05 cm . . . . "greatest possible error"

_____

For questions of this sort, we make the (not always practical) assumption that the measurement is rounded perfectly to the nearest 0.1 cm.

The diameter of a wheel from a bicycle is 66 CM about how far will the wheel travel in one turn

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

If the outside diameter of the wheel is 66cm, it will travel 1 wheel circumference. Circumference is Pi x diameter = 3.14 x 66 = 207.24 cm.Step-by-step

Explanation:

If the diameter is of the wheel (without the tire) you need to calculate the actual diameter from the outermost edge of the tire.

A water well is to be drilled in the desert where the soil is either rock, clay or sand. The probability of rock P(R)equals=0.

GaryK [48]

The tree diagram for the probability is shown below

P(Clay|Positive) is read 'Probability of Clay given the result is Positive'.

This is a case of conditional probability.

The formula for conditional probability is given as
P(Clay|Positive) = P(Clay∩Positive) ÷ P(Positive)

P(Clay∩Positive) = 0.21×0.48 = 0.1008

P(Positive) = P(Rock∩Positive) + P(Clay∩Positive) + P(Sand∩Positive)
P(Positive) = (0.53×0.53) + (0.21×0.48) + (0.26×0.75)
P(Positive) = 0.2809 + 0.1008 + 0.195
P(Positive) = 0.5767

Hence,
P(Clay|Positive) = 0.1008÷0.5767 = 0.175 (rounded to 3 decimal place)
