Accuracy vs precision

Mathematics
1 answer:
Naily [24]3 years ago
7 0
Accuracy is how close a measured item is to the actual or true value and precision is how close the measured items are to being the same.  So you could weight 5 apples.  If each apple weights 2 lbs and you said that the 5 apples weight a total of 10lbs you are determining the precision.  Precision is independent of accuracy.  Accuracy would be if you put all 5 apples on the scale at one time and knew a exact amount.

Nicole sold 1 cherry pie and 9 pumpkin pies for $60. Lisa sold 11 cheery pies and 4 pumpkin pies for $90. what's the cost each o
bogdanovich [222]
Cherry pie  is $ C.
Pumpkin pie is $ P.

C +   9P =60 -------> C=60 - 9P
11C+4P = 90  

11(60 - 9P) +4P=90
660 - 99P + 4P = 90
-95P = -570
P =570/95 = 6
P=6
C=60-9*P=60 - 9*6= 60-54=6
C=6

Answer: 1 cherry pie -$6, 1 pumpkin pie - $6.

Check:
11C+4P = 90  , 11*6 +4*6 =90, 66+24=90, 90=90 True

What is the smallest and largest perimeter of a polygon with an area of 20?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The polygon with the smallest perimeter is the megagon

The polygon with the largest perimeter is the triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

An equilateral triangle with area = 20 has

0.5× a²×sin60 = 20

a= 6.796

Hence, perimeter = 20.39

A square of area 20 has perimeter= 4×√20 = 17.9

A regular pentagon of area = 20 has perimeter = 3.41 × 5 = 17.05

Hence as the number of sides is increasing, the ratio of the Area to the Perimeter also increases

Therefore, a triangle has the largest perimeter with an area of 20 while a megagon with a million sides has the smallest perimeter with an area of 20.
