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%

3.14×0.5=1.750

50÷1.75=5000÷175 to eliminate the decimal points

5000÷175=28.571

then we round the answer to the nearest tenths

Joseph served 18 customers in 42 minutes. Approximately how many customers would he serve in 2 hours if he continued at this rat
zhenek [66]
Okay so if he serves 18 customers in 42 minutes divide 18 by 42 and you get the amount of customers he serves per min which is 0.42857413 then multiply that by 120 since 2 hours add up to 120 minutes and you get 51.43

Serggg [28]

Answer:

247277 people

Step-by-step explanation:

6% of 243,000 = 14,580

243,000 + 14,580 = 257,580

4% of 257,580 = 10,303.2

Estimating 10,303.2 to 10,303

257,580 - 10,303 = 247277

An elliptical culvert is 3.5 feet tall and 6 feet wide. It is filled with water to a depth of 0.95 feet. Find the width of the s
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

W_s \approx5.3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Height H=3.5ft

Weight W= 6ft

Depth  D=0.95ft

Generally the equation for ellipses is given as

\frac{x^2}{a^2} +\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1

Where

b=H/2\\b=3.5/2\\Therefore\\b=1.75\\a=W/2\\a=6/2\\Therefore\\a=3\\

\frac{x^2}{3^2} +\frac{y^2}{1.75^2} =1

Generally to find y in the equation \frac{x^2}{a^2} +\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1

y=-b+d

y=-1.75+0.95

y=-0.8

Therefore

\frac{x^2}{3^2} +\frac{(0.8)^2}{1.75^2} =1

\frac{x^2}{3^2} =1-\frac{(0.8)^2}{1.75^2}

\frac{x^2}{3^2} =1-0.2089795918

X^2 =3^2(1-0.2089795918)

X^2 =7.119183674

X =\sqrt{7.119183674}

X =2.66817984

Therefore the width of the given stream is

W_s=2.66817984*2

W_s=5.33635968

W_s \approx5.3
