Answer:

Absolute error = 39

Percent Error = 6.10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual value = 639 pounds

Observed Value = 600 pounds

The formula to find absolute error is:

Absolute Error = Actual value - Observed Value

                        = 639 - 600

                        = 39

The formula to find Percent error is:

Percent Error = (Actual value - Observed Value / Actual value)*100

                       = (639 - 600/639)*100

                       = 6.10%

<u>Answer:</u>

Absolute error = 39 pounds

Percent error = 6.10%

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know that the estimated weight was 600 pounds while the actual weight of the beam was 639 pounds.

So we will find their difference to get the absolute error.

Absolute error = 639 - 600 = 39 pounds

We will use the following formula to find the percent error.

<em>Percent error = (Estimated value - actual value / actual value) * 100</em>

Percent error = 639 - 600 / 600 * 100 = 6.10%

2. Choose the graph that shows the solution of the inequality on the number line
horsena [70]

Answer:

Number line 3 also known as [C]

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Given that:</em>

<em>c ≤ </em>-1

Knowing that:

≤  = Less than or equal to

Now substitute into the equation:

C less than or equal to -1

Thus, it going left on a number line.

The only number line with left is [A] and [C]

Since ≤  = Less than or equal to -1

then, it including -1

also known as a closed circle means the number is included and an open circle means it is not.

Hence, it closed circle.

Thus, the answer is [C]
