Answer:

A. 12.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you need to minus the actual number from the estimate number then you divide the answer you get from the actual number then you move down two decimal spaces. Then you will get 12.8%.

Answer:

percentage error = 12.82%

Step-by-step explanation:

His estimation was 17 hours to complete his science projects but the real time or actual time should be 19 1/2 hours.

That means his error in estimation is 19 1/2 - 17 = 39/2 -17 = 19.5 - 17 = 2.5 hour

So his percentage error should be = error / actual time × 100

Mathematically,

percentage error = 2.5/ 19.5 × 100

multiplying the numerators

2.5 × 100 = 250

percentage error = 250/19.5

percentage error = 12.82%

Answer:

The sample proportion is 0.19815

Step-by-step explanation:

A confidence interval has two bounds, a lower bound and an upper bound. The sample proportion is the halfway point between these two bounds, that is, the sum of the bounds divided by 2.

In this problem, we have that:

Lower bound: 0.1759

Upper bound: 0.2204

Sample proportion:

(0.1759 + 0.2204)/2 = 0.19815

The sample proportion is 0.19815

When Carson runs the 400 meter dash, his finishing times are normally distributed with a mean of 63 seconds and a standard devia
Gnom [1K]

Answer: in 95% of races, his finishing time will be between 62 and 64 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rule states that for a normal distribution, nearly all of the data will fall within three standard deviations of the mean . The empirical rule is further illustrated below

68% of data falls within the first standard deviation from the mean.

95% fall within two standard deviations.

99.7% fall within three standard deviations.

From the information given, the mean is 63 seconds and the standard deviation is 5 seconds.

2 standard deviations = 2 × 0.5 = 1

63 - 1 = 62 seconds

63 + 1 = 64 seconds

Therefore, in 95% of races, his finishing time will be between 62 and 64 seconds.
