Step 1
<span>Calculate the error
</span>error=75-64-----> 11 ft

step 2
<span>Divide the error by the exact value
</span>11/64=0.1719

step 3
<span>Convert that to a percentage 
</span>0.1719*100=17.19%

the answer is
17.19%

A boulder falls off the top of a cliff during a storm. The cliff is 90 feet high.
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

It will take the boulder approximately 4.28 seconds to hit the road

Step-by-step explanation:

The given height of the cliff from which the boulder falls, h = 90 feet

The equation that can be used to find the time it takes the boulder to fall is h = u·t + (1/2)·g·t²

Where;

h = The height of the cliff = 90 ft.

u = The initial velocity of the boulder = 0 m/s (The boulder is assumed to be at rest when it falls)

g - The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

t = How long it will take for the boulder to hit the road below

Plugging in the values gives;

90 = 0 × t + (1/2)×9.81×t² = 4.905·t²

∴ t = √(90/4.905) ≈ 4.28

The time it takes the boulder to hit the road, t ≈ 4.28 seconds.

How do you solve 5-4x&lt;95
mario62 [17]

5 - 4x < 95 \\  - 4x  < 95 - 5 \\  - 4x = 90 \\ x =  -  \frac{90}{4}  \\  \boxed{ x =  -  \frac{45}{2} }

Assume that​ women's heights are normally distributed with a mean given by mu equals 62.5 in​,and a standard deviation given by
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

(a) 0.5899

(b) 0.9166

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable that represents the height of a woman. Then, X is normally distributed with  

\mu = 62.5 in

\sigma = 2.2 in

the normal probability density function is given by  

f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}2.2}\exp{-\frac{(x-62.5)^{2}}{2(2.2)^{2}}}, then

(a) P(X < 63) = \int\limits_{-\infty}^{63}f(x) dx = 0.5899

   (in the R statistical programming language) pnorm(63, mean = 62.5, sd = 2.2)

(b) We are seeking P(\bar{X} < 63) where n = 37. \bar{X} is normally distributed with mean 62.5 in and standard deviation 2.2/\sqrt{37}. So, the probability density function is given by

g(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{37}}}\exp{-\frac{(x-62.5)^{2}}{2(2.2/\sqrt{37})^{2}}}, and

P(\bar{X} < 63) = \int\limits_{-\infty}^{63}g(x)dx = 0.9166

(in the R statistical programming language) pnorm(63, mean = 62.5, sd = 2.2/sqrt(37))

You can use a table from a book to find the probabilities or a programming language like the R statistical programming language.
