Why is it important to know the accuracy and precision of a measuring device? Do you think that the dial caliper manufacturer’s

claim that the ""accuracy"" of the instrument is ±.001 is appropriate? Why or why not? Do you think that either of the dial calipers needs to be adjusted to accurately display measurements? Explain.

Answer:

Accuracy and precision allow us to know how much we can rely on a measuring device readings. ±.001 as a "accuracy" claim is vague because there is no unit next to the figure and the claim fits better to the definition of precision.

Explanation:

Accuracy and Precision: the golden couple.

Accuracy and precision are key elements to define if a measuring device is reliable or not for a specific task. Accuracy determines how close are the readings from the ideal/calculated values. On the other hand, precision refers to repeatability, that is to say how constant the readings of a device are when measuring the same element at different times. One of those two key concepts may not fulfill the criteria for measuring tool to be used on certain engineering projects where lack of accuracy (disntant values from real ones) or precision (not constant readings) may lead to malfunctons and severe delays on the project development.

±.001 what unit?

The manufacturer says that is an accuracy indicator, nevertheless there is now unit stated so this is not useful to see how accurate the device is. Additionally, That notation is more used to refer to device tolerances, that is to say the range of possible values the instrument may show when reading and element. It means it tells us more about the device precision during measurments than actual accuracy. I would recommend the following to the dial calipers manufacturers to better explain its measurement specifications:

  1. Use  ±.001 as  a reference for precision. It is important to add the respective unit for that figure.
  2. Condcut test to define the actual accuracy value an present it using one of the common used units for that:  Error percentage or ppm.

Complete function PrintPopcornTime(), with int parameter bagOunces, and void return type. If bagOunces is less than 3, print "To
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void PrintPopcornTime(int bagOunces) {

if(bagOunces < 3){

 cout << "Too small";

 cout << endl;

}

else if(bagOunces > 10){

 cout << "Too large";

 cout << endl;

}

else{

 cout << (6 * bagOunces) << " seconds" << endl;

}

}

int main() {

  PrintPopcornTime(7);

  return 0;

}

Explanation:

Using C++ to write the program. In line 1 we define the header "#include <iostream>"  that defines the standard input/output stream objects. In line 2 "using namespace std" gives me the ability to use classes or functions, From lines 5 to 17 we define the function "PrintPopcornTime(), with int parameter bagOunces" Line 19 we can then call the function using 7 as the argument "PrintPopcornTime(7);" to get the expected output.

What are the four categories of engineering materials used in manufacturing?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

metals, composite, ceramics and polymers.

Explanation:

The four categories of engineering materials used in manufacturing are metals, composite, ceramics and polymers.

i) Metals: Metals are solids made up of atoms held by matrix of electrons. They are good conductors of heat and electricity, ductile and strong.

ii) Composite: This is a combination of two or more materials. They have high strength to weight ratio, stiff, low conductivity. E.g are wood, concrete.

iii) Ceramics: They are inorganic, non-metallic crystalline compounds with high hardness and strength as well as poor conductors of electricity and heat.

iv) Polymers: They  have low weight and are poor conductors of electricity and heat

State the number of terms for each of the following algebraic expression 2x+1
harina [27]

Answer:

Expressions are made up of terms.

A term is a product of factors.

Coefficient is the numerical factor in the term

Before moving to terms like monomials, binomials, and polynomials, like and unlike terms are discussed.

When terms have the same algebraic factors, they are like terms.

When terms have different algebraic factors, they are unlike terms.
