Estimate the difference 8 7/12 - 4 7/8 - 4/10

Mathematics
1 answer:
Gnesinka [82]3 years ago
4 0
When you are told to estimate, you should be able to do the problem in your head.
8 7/12 is close to 8 1/2
4 7/8 is very nearly 5
4/10 is very nearly 1/2

8 1/2 - 5 - 1/2 First of all you can take the 1/2 away from 8 1/2
8 1/2 - 1/2 = 8
Now take away the 5


8 - 5 = 3

So the answer is very nearly
3 <<<<< answer.

Just for fun, I'll get the exact answer. Don't hand this one  in. It is 3 37/120
You learn to estimate because you are trying to guess whether or not you've entered everything correctly into your calculator. When writing a test, this is a very handy skill to have developed.

What is the additive inverse of the complex number –8 + 3i?
Lady bird [3.3K]
Choices:
–8 – 3i
–8 + 3i
8 – 3i
<span>8 + 3i

The additive inverse of the complex number a + bi is -(a+bi) = -a - bi

In this case, a = -8 and b = 3i

a + bi = -8 + 3i
additive inverse is:  -(-8+3i) = +8 - 3i

The additive inverse of the complex number -8 + 3i is 8 - 3i. The 3rd choice.

An unconfined compression test was performed to determine the average strength of concrete cylinders (in psi). It is believed th
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

The confidence level is, 91%.

Compute the value of α as follows:

\text{Confidence level}\% =(100-\alpha \%)\\\\91% = 100-\alpha \%\\\\\alpha \%=100-91\%\\\\\alpha \%=9\%\\\\\alpha =0.09

(2)

As the population standard deviation is provided, i.e. <em>σ</em> = 256 psi, the <em>z</em> value would be appropriate.

The <em>z</em> value for α = 0.09 is,

<em>z</em> = 1.69

(3)

Compute the 91% confidence interval as follows:

CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\cdot\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

     =3000\pm 1.69\cdot\frac{256}{\sqrt{70}}\\\\=3000\pm 51.71\\\\=(2942.29, 3057.71)

(4)

The 91% confidence interval for population mean implies that there is a 0.91 probability that the true value of the mean is included in the interval, (2942.29, 3057.71) psi.
