The distance between two points needs to be measured, in meters. The true distance between the points is 10 meters, but due to m

easurement error we can’t measure the distance exactly. Instead, we will observe a value of 10+???? , where the error ???? is distributed (0,0.04) . Find the probability that the observed distance is within 0.4 meters of the true distance. Give an approximate numerical answer.

Answer:

The probability that the observed distance is within 0.4 meters is 0.955

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of error (ME) from the mean can be calculated using the formula

ME=z×s where

  • z is the corresponding statistic of the probability that the observed distance is within 0.4 meters
  • s is the standard deviation of the observed error

Error is distributed as N(0,0.04) means that measurements have <em>standard deviation</em> 0.2, square root of 0.04.

<em>Margin of error</em> is given as 0.4 meters.

Thus 0.4=z×0.2  gives z=2 and the corresponding p-value is 0.045, which means that the probability of observing a margin of error 0.4 is 1-0.045=0.955.

a scuba diver descended at a rate of 2 1/4 per second. If 0 represents the surface of the water and distances below the surface
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The location will be at - 28\frac{1}{8} units.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scuba diver descended at a rate of 2\frac{1}{4} units per second.

Now, if 0 represents the surface of the water and distances below the surface are negative, then after 12\frac{1}{2} seconds the location of the diver will be given by the followings :

In one second the diver descends by 2.25 units depth.

So, in 12.5 seconds the diver will descend by (2.25 \times 12.5) = 28.125 units i.e. 28\frac{1}{8} units depth.

Therefore, the location will be at - 28\frac{1}{8} units. (Answer)

The highest common factor (HCF) of 140 and x is 20
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

x=60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ,

HCF of 140 and x=20,

LCM of 140 and x =420.

Solution:

It is known that the product of two numbers is equal to the product of their HCF and LCM, i-e:

140*x= HCF*LCM

Putting in the values provided,

140*x=20*420

140*x=8400

x=8400/140

x=60

Hence the variable x is 60.
