Answer:

her degree of accuracy in measurement is 0.05 cm (Option D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree of accuracy in the measurement of the botanist depends on the instrument used.

For a length of 3.56 centimeters, it shows that the length of the tomato seedling was measured using meter rule or tape.

Meter rule is graduated in 1 mm or 0.1 cm. The estimated uncertainty in measurement using meter rule is half of its graduation i.e ( ¹/₂ of 0.1 cm = 0.05 cm).

If the botanist measured the length of tomato seedling as 3.56 centimeters, then her degree of accuracy in measurement is 3.56 cm ± 0.05 cm.

Therefore, her degree of accuracy in measurement is 0.05 cm (Option D)

Suppose a basketball player has made 217 out of 302 free throws. If the player makes the next 3 free throws, I will pay you $23.

Anna [14]

Answer:

-$0.90

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only two possible outcomes, winning $23 (W) or losing $15 (L). Therefore:

$P(W) + P(L) = 1$

The probability of the player making his next 3 free throws (P(W)) is:

$P(W) = \frac{217}{302}*\frac{217}{302}*\frac{217}{302}\\P(W) = 0.37098$

The probability of the player NOT making his next 3 free throws (P(L)) is:

$P(L) = 1 - P(W) = 1 - 0.37098\\P(L) = 0.62902$

Expected value (EV) is given by the payoff of each outcome multiplied by its probability:

$EV = (23*0.37098) -(15*0.62902)\\EV = -\$0.90$

The expected value of the proposition is -$0.90

Select the three expressions that are equivalent to 14+14+14+14+14+14+14+1414+14+14+14+14+14+14+14.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

This question is incomplete.

Step-by-step explanation:

Where are the list of equivalent values?

One list might be 98+1414+918 (because there are 7 14's either side of the 1414.)

M<3 is (3x + 4) and m<5 is (2x +11)

butalik [34]

Answer:

Part 1) Option C. Same side interior angles

Part 2) Option A. $(3x+4)+(2x+11)=180\°$

Part 3) Option B. $m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we know that

If p and q are parallel

then

m<3 and m<5 are consecutive interior angles or Same side interior angles

and

$m$

Part 2) we know that

$m$ -----> by consecutive interior angles (supplementary angles)

we have that

$m$

substitute

$(3x+4)+(2x+11)=180\°$

Part 3) Find the measure of angle 5

we know that

$(3x+4)+(2x+11)=180\°$

Solve for x

$5x+15\°=180\°$

$5x=180\°-15\°$

$x=165\°/5\°=33\°$

$m$

substitute the value of x

$m$
