The greatest possible error is equal to half the measuring unit.

Since you are measuring 1/4 inch. The greatest error would be one half of a quarter, which is 1/8 in.

Alina [70]

Answer:

The standard deviation is simply the square root of the variance. The average deviation, also called the mean absolute deviation, is another measure of variability.

You can mow a lawn in 2 hours with a ride on mower and your friend can mow a lawn in 3 hours with a hand mower. How much time wi

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you can mow a lawn in 2 hours, then you get 1/2 of the job done in 1 hour.

If your friend can mow the same lawn in 3 hours, then he can get 1/3 of the job done in 1 hour.

The equation for the time it would take for both of you to do the job together, then, is

$\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{3} =\frac{1}{x}$

where x is the number of hours it takes for both of you to do this job. Get rid of the denominators to solve for x. Do this by multiplying everything by the LCD, which is 6x.

$6x(\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{3} =\frac{1}{x} )$ which simplifies to

3x + 2x = 6 and

5x = 6

x = 6/5 or 1 1/5 hours
