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%

Answer:

yes, it is a right triangle and ∡Q is the right angle

Step-by-step explanation:

if the slope of QR is the opposite reciprocal of QS then the two segments are perpendicular and form a 90° angle

slope of QR:  -3 - (-1) ÷ 2 - 0  = -2 ÷ 2 = -1

slope of QS:  -3 - (-1) ÷ 2 - 4  = -2 ÷ -2 = 1

-1 and 1 are opposite and reciprocal so m∡Q = 90°

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

We should expect the histogram to be skewed to the right.

Step-by-step explanation:

The median separates the upper half from the lower half of a set. So 50% of the values in a data set lie at or below the median, and 50% lie at or above the median.

The mean is the average of all the values in the set.

Median, mean and skewness of the histogram:

If the mean is greater than the median, the histogram has positive skewness, that is, it is skewed to the right.

If the mean is lesser than the median, the histogram has negative skewness, that is, it is skewed to the left.

If the mean and the median are equal, the histogram is approximately symmetric.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 22

Median = 15.9

So we should expect the histogram to be skewed to the right.
