Mike and Teegan each measured the volume of the 16-ounce bottle three times. They recorded their measurements as shown. Mike: 16
1 answer:
Answer:
The correct option is;
Mike's measurement are more precise and more accurate
Step-by-step explanation:
The given information are;
The mass of the measured bottle = 16-ounce
The record of the measurements made by Mike are;
16.4 oz
15.2 oz
15.8 oz
The record of the measurements made by Teegan are;
16.34 oz
16.59 oz
15.13 oz
From the two measurements, we have;
The precision of a measurement depends on how close the values of the measurement are to one another, therefore, we have;
For Mike, the precision is given as follows
16.4 - 15.2 = 1.2
16.4 - 15.8 = 0.6
15.8 - 15.2 = 0.6
Total difference = 1.2 + 0.6 + 0.6 = 2.4
For Teegan , the precision is given as follows
16.59 - 16.34 = 0.25
16.59 - 15.13 = 1.46
16.34 - 15.13 = 1.21
Total difference = 0.25 + 1.46 + 1.21 = 2.92
Therefore, Mike's measurements are more precise than Teegan's measurements
The accuracy of the measurement is the amount of closeness the measurements are to a given value
In the question, the given value is 16-ounces of the volume of the bottle
Therefore, by the mean absolute deviation from the 16-ounce of the bottle, we have;
For Mike;
For Teegan, we have;
Therefore, Mike's measurement is more accurate than Teegan's measurement.
Which gives;
Mike's measurement are more precise and more accurate.

Problem 13
If we want to multiply (x^3-3x^2+2x) with (x^3-2x^2+x), then we can set up a diagram shown below. The terms are along the outside. The stuff inside is the result of multiplying each pair of outer terms.
- Example: x^3 times x^3 = x^6 in the top left corner
- Another example: 2x times x = 2x^2 in the bottom right corner.
This is known as the box method to keep track of all the terms multiplied.
Once the table is filled out, we add up each term inside the boxes. Combine like terms if possible. Notice that I color-coded the like terms (eg: the x^3 terms are in green boxes).
The final answer is x^6 - 5x^5 + 9x^4 - 7x^3 + 2x^2
