How many significant digits are there in 17.0

Mathematics
1 answer:
svet-max [94.6K]3 years ago
4 0
The answer is three significant figures. The 1 and the 7 are both significant, because they are non-zero quantities.
This is where significant figures gets a little more complicated, because if a zero is used as a placeholder (i.e. 0.00027 cm) then it is insignificant.
But in the case above, the zero isn't being used as a placeholder, and thus, is significant.

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

pop 1 n₁ = 260, p₁ = 58% = 0.58

pop 2 n₂ = 260, p₂ = 8% = 0.08

Null hypothesis: p₁ ≤ p₂

Alternative hypothesis: p₁ > p₂

The test statistic : p₁-p₂ / √{p-sample (1 - p-sample) (1/n₁ + 1/n₂)}

where p-sample is sample proportion = p₁n₁ +p₂n₂ / n₁+n₂

Thus, p-sample = 0.58x260 +0.08x260 / 260+260 =150.8+20.8 / 520 = 171.6 / 520 = 0.33.

Thus, the test statistic is (0.58 - 0.08) / √[0.33 (1-0.33) (0.0038+0.0038)

  = 0.5 / √[0.33(0.67) (0.0076)

= 0.5 / √0.00168036

= 0.5 / 0.04099

= 12.20

P = P(Z>12.20) = 1-P(Z≤12.20) at a significance level of 0.1= the p-value is less than the hypothesized thus, we have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis and concluding that vinyl gloves have a greater virus leak than latex gloves.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!
xeze [42]

Answer:

JM = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Because MN║JL,

\frac{MK}{JM} = \frac{KN}{NL}

\frac{5}{2x + 4}  = \frac{6}{12}  =  \frac{1}{2}

2(5) = 1(2x + 4)

10 = 2x + 4

2x = 6

x = 3

JM = 2x + 4 = 2(3) + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10

when you reverse the digits in a certain two-diget number you increase it value by 27. What is the number if the sum of its digi
Fynjy0 [20]
The number is = 10x+y
if reverse the digits, the number is: 10y+x
The sum fo its digits is =  x+y=5
I suggest this system of equations:
(10y+x)-(10x+y)=27    ⇒9y-9x=27
x+y=5
We can solve this system of equations by equaliztion method
x=5-y

9y-9(5-y)=27
9y-45+9y=27
18y=27+45
18y=72
y=72/18
y=4

x=5-y
x=5-4=1

The number is: 10x+y=10(1)+4=14

Answer: the number is 14

Directions: Calculate the percent increase or decrease between the starting and ending
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:233.333%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 10-3=7 subtract end by start

2.7/3=2.333 divide difference by absolute value of start

32.333x100=233.333% multiply by 100 if negative its decreasing if positive it increasing

hoped this helped
