Answer:

5.104%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The accepted value for the mass density = 4.80 g/cc

Observed values:

5.13 g/cc

4.98 g/cc

5.06 g/cc

5.01 g/cc

Total number of observed values = 4

Mean of the observed values = ( 5.13 + 4.98 + 5.06 + 5.01 ) / 4 = 5.045 g/cc

Now,

The percentage error is calculated as:

\textup{Percent Error}=\frac{\left |\textup{Accepted value-Mean value} \right |}{\left |\textup{Accpeted value} \right |}\times100%

on substituting the values, we get

\textup{Percent Error}=\frac{\left |4.80-5.045\right |}{4.80}\times100%

or

Percentage error = 5.104%

Evaluate the function<br> f(x)= 7.45x + 33.7 at x= -4.3
slavikrds [6]
First, you have to substitute for x, which would make the problem f(x)=7.45(-4.3)+33.7
Now, you just have to use the PEMDAS method (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)
f(x)= -32.035+33.7
f(x)=1.665

A taxi company charges passengers $2.00 for a ride, no matter how long the ride is, and an additional $0.20 for each mile travel
tiny-mole [99]

The answer will be $2.20. Because they only traveled one mile, which is 20 cents. Also the original cost before they even started driving was $2.00.
