What's something that could go wrong if you use numbers that are not precise?​

Mathematics

Answer:

There are a lot of things that can go wrong, especially when we have an error in a measure that we use a lot of times (each time, that error increases).

For example, you think that each meter of fence costs $5, but the actual price is $5.30, and you need 40 meters, then you think that you may need to pay:

40*$5 = $200

But they will actually charge you:

40*$5.30 = $212.

Now this is a small example, now let's go to medicine, suppose that you want to trait cancer with radiation in a pacient, if you do not use precise measures for the dosage of radiation or the measures of the tumor, you may cause a lot of damage in the patient. (And similar cases if you want to give some medication and the numbers that you use are not precise, you may overdose the patient)

So the use of precise numbers may be critical in a lot of scenarios.

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

m = 3/100

Step-by-step explanation:

211m + 16 = 4 + 611m

211m - 611m = 4 - 16

-400m = -12

m = -12/-400

m = 3/100

Jose estimates that if he leaves his car parked outside his office all day on a weekday, the chance that he will get a parking t
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Therefore, the probability is P=0.74.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Jose estimates that if he leaves his car parked outside his office all day on a weekday, the chance that he will get a parking ticket is 26%.  

Therefore the probability that he will get a parking ticket is P1=0.26.

We calculate the probability that he will not get a parking ticket.

We get:

P=1-P1

P=1-0.26

P=0.74

Therefore, the probability is P=0.74.
