The length of a pencil is measured with two rulers. Report the length of the pencil from each ruler with the proper number of di
gits.
1 answer:
Answer
Length measured using Ruler A= 1.17 dm
Length measured using Ruler B=1.18 dm
Step by Step Explanation:
I have added the missing photograph which shows the length of pencil being measured with two rulers.
Ruler A has marking separated by 1 dm
Ruler B has marking separated by 0.1 dm
Length measured using Ruler A= 1.17 dm
(As we can see I have added the middle markers, we can see the tip of pencil is somewhere between 1 and 1.25, it is more than 1.125 but lesser than 1.25, it is somewhere around 1.2 and 1.125 dm, approximately equal to one half of 1.25 which is 1.125 with addition of one of the three halves of half of 1.125 which is 1.125+0.045 dm hence 1.17dm)
Length measured using Ruler B=1.18 dm
(we can see the tip of pencil is just before 1.2 dm, it is clear that the value is precisely 1.18 and not 1.19 dm)
<u><em>Tip:Always measure one more decimal than given by the ruler when unsure about the exact value</em></u>

Answer:
4.39% theoretical probability of this happening
Step-by-step explanation:
For each coin, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it lands on heads, or it lands on tails. The probability of a coin landing on heads is independent of other coins. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
Theoretically, a fair coin
Equally as likely to land on heads or tails, so
10 coins:
This means that
What is the theoretical probability of this happening?
This is P(X = 2).
