<u>Answer:</u>

Absolute error = 39 pounds

Percent error = 6.10%

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given that the actual weight of the beam was 639 pounds while its estimated weight was 600 pounds.

We can find the absolute error by subtracting the original weight from the estimated weight.

Absolute error = 639 - 600 = 39 pounds

Next, 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:

Absolute: 39 pounds

Relative: 6.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the absolute difference, we simply have to see by how much pounds the estimation was off.

The real measure was 639 pounds, the estimated weight was 600.

D = 639 - 600 = 39 pounds.

For the percent of error, we divide the absolute difference (39) by the real value (639) and we'll get the % of error.  So,

%D = 39 / 600 = 0.0610, so 6.1%

We don't need to round it to the nearest tenth, since it's already to that precision level.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

$5400

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross income is any interest, wage etc(money received) given to someone which they account for before any deductions and tax. Fran will have to include all $5400 of her first quarterly payment into her gross income because there are no deductions yet and tax when you consider what is put in gross income. Fran would have earned this amount as a payment from the purchasing of the annuity as it serves as a payment back for purchasing an annuity which to Fran, is an investment.

Answer this question if cool
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The answer to your question is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the mean score is 23.

Thus, we can obtain the distance from the mean (absolute deviation) by using the following formula:

Mean deviation = | mean – Score |

Mean = 23

For Score 21:

Mean deviation = | mean – Score |

Mean deviation = | 23 – 21 | = 2

For Score 22:

Mean deviation = | mean – Score |

Mean deviation = | 23 – 22 | = 1

For Score 28:

Mean deviation = | mean – Score |

Mean deviation = | 23 – 28 | = 5

For Score 29:

Mean deviation = | mean – Score |

Mean deviation = | 23 – 29 | = 6

SUMMARY:

Score >> Mean >> Absolute deviation

21 >>>>> 23 >>>>> 2

21 >>>>> 23 >>>>> 2

21 >>>>> 23 >>>>> 2

22 >>>>> 23 >>>>> 1

22 >>>>> 23 >>>>> 1

22 >>>>> 23 >>>>> 1

22 >>>>> 23 >>>>> 1

22 >>>>> 23 >>>>> 1

28 >>>>> 23 >>>>> 5

29 >>>>> 23 >>>>> 6
