Answer:

0.3276%

Step-by-step explanation:

-The percentage of error is the the percentage deviation from the real value.

-Given the real value is 427.4 m and the pedometer value is 426m, the % of error is calculated:

e={Actual -Reading}\\\\=427.4-426\\\\=1.4\\\\\therefore\% e=\frac{e}{Actual}\times 100\%\\\\=\frac{1.4}{427.4}\times 100\%\\\\=0.3276\%

Hence, the percentage of error is 0.3276%

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

p = 11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Data provided in the question

2.6(5.5p – 12.4) = 127.92

Now

Distributive Propertyis

14.3p - 32.24 = 127.92

Addition Property is

14.3p = 127.92 + 32.24

Division Property is

14.3p ÷ 14.3 = 160.16 ÷ 14.3

p = 11.2

We simply find the value of p by applying the distributive property, addition property, and the division property and the same is to be considered

mafiozo [28]

The number of partial products Alan will have when he multiplies a 4-digit number by 36 is; 8 partial products.

First, we must establish that a 4-digit number will have 4 place values namely;

  • Thousands
  • Hundreds
  • Tens
  • Ones.

And since, 36 has 2 place values;

We can conclude that the number of partial products that Alan wil have is; 2× 4 = 8.

A researcher believes that there is a difference in how cautious male stray cats and female stray cats are when approaching peop
Anika [276]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in the mean number of male and female cats

H₀; μ₂ - μ₁ = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The given percentage of male stray cat population = 50%

The given percentage of female stray cat population = 50%

The number of areas the researcher visits, n = 15

The number of stray male cats he finds = 11

The kind of test to be performed = Sign test

The significance level, α = 0.05

A) Therefore the null hypothesis is H₀; μ₂ - μ₁ = 0

The alternative hypothesis is Hₐ; μ₂ - μ₁ ≠ 0.
