Give the most appropriate reason for using three significant figures in reporting results of typical engineering calculations.a.

Three significant figures gives better than one-percent accuracy. b. Most of the original data used in engineering calculations do not have accuracy better than one percent. c. Historically slide rules could not handle more than three significant figures. d. Telephone systems designed by engineers have area codes consisting of three figures

Answer:

The answer is "Option b".

Step-by-step explanation:

In the calculation of engineering or modeling, it is used to assess its necessary system, that performance, and also used to evaluate the distribution network adjustments, which is used to accommodate the slew of other distribution network adjustments, that's why except "choice b" all were incorrect.

Nancy and Kevin collect coins. Nancy has x coins. Kevin has 9 coins fewer than five times the number of coins Nancy has. Write a
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

x + (5x-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

x stands for the number of coins Nancy has

Kevin has 9 less than 5 times what Nancy has, so his part of the expression is 5x-9

To find the total number of coins they have, you have to add Nancy's number of coins x plus Kevin's number of coins 5x-9

x + (5x-9)

But you have to put parentheses around Kevin's 5x-9 so that part of the expression is calculated first, as per order of operations

What’s the equation when the line is (6,5) and slope is 2/3
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

y=2/3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

using the slope intercept formula, y=mx+b, where m is the slope, and b is the y intercept. So we get the equation y=2/3x+b, because the slope is given, then you use the given point and substitute it into the equation, 5=2/3(6)+b which you can solve and you will get 5=4+b, b =1, then you add 1 to your original equation to get your answer, y=2/3x+1

(G1) The distance from Flagstaff Arizona to
Monica [59]

Answer:

A. 418, 418

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to convert miles to meters is the following:

1 = 1,609.34

so for every 1 mile, you have 1,609.34 meters

so you take your distance in miles and multiply it by 1,609.34

d= 260 x 1,609.34

d = 418, 428.4

a manufacturer is designing a flashlight for the flashlight to admit a focused beam the bull needs to be on the central axis of
Helen [10]

Answer:

y= 1/12(x-0)^2+0

this answer works as an upward parabola

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The formula for a veritcal parabola is y=1/4p(x-h)^2+k
  • (h,k)= coordinates of the vertex of the parabola
  • p= absolute value of the distance from the vertex to the focus/directrix
  • In this problem, it is given that the vertex is at the origin (0,0) and the focus (the bulb), is 3 centimeters away from the vertex.
  • Now, you know the values of the variables. Fill in the values
  • FROM THE FORMULA: 1/4p turns into 1/12 since p is 3.
  • (x-h)^2+k turns into (x-0)^2+0, since h and k where the values of the vertex which was 0,0
  • once all the variables are given values (except x and y) you have made your equation!
  • The answer is y=1/12(x-0)^2+0

A coin is tossed twice. What is the probability of getting a tail in the first toss and a tail in the second toss?
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

<h2>1/4 Chances</h2><h2>25% Chances</h2><h2>0.25 Chances (out of 1)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Two methods to answer the question.

Here are presented to show the advantage in using the product rule given above.

<h2>Method 1:Using the sample space</h2>

The sample space S of the experiment of tossing a coin twice is given by the tree diagram shown below

The first toss gives two possible outcomes: T or H ( in blue)

The second toss gives two possible outcomes: T or H (in red)

From the three diagrams, we can deduce the sample space S set as follows

          S={(H,H),(H,T),(T,H),(T,T)}

with n(S)=4 where n(S) is the number of elements in the set S

tree diagram in tossing a coin twice

The event E : " tossing a coin twice and getting two tails " as a set is given by

          E={(T,T)}

with n(E)=1 where n(E) is the number of elements in the set E

Use the classical probability formula to find P(E) as:

          P(E)=n(E)n(S)=14

<h2>Method 2: Use the product rule of two independent event</h2>

Event E " tossing a coin twice and getting a tail in each toss " may be considered as two events

Event A " toss a coin once and get a tail " and event B "toss the coin a second time and get a tail "

with the probabilities of each event A and B given by

          P(A)=12 and P(B)=12

Event E occurring may now be considered as events A and B occurring. Events A and B are independent and therefore the product rule may be used as follows

        P(E)=P(A and B)=P(A∩B)=P(A)⋅P(B)=12⋅12=14

NOTE If you toss a coin a large number of times, the sample space will have a large number of elements and therefore method 2 is much more practical to use than method 1 where you have a large number of outcomes.

We now present more examples and questions on how the product rule of independent events is used to solve probability questions.
