Answer:
The correct option is;
C. She should go back and remeasure all of her specimens again to find the error. If she can't do this, she should eliminate the outlier from the analysis, because this is an error in recording
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to minimize error in measurement, some valuable steps includes;
1) Perform a double check on all measurements to ensure that the measurements recorded are accurate
2) Ensure proper training before taking measurements
3) Measurements should only be taken under controlled conditions
4) Separate the entire population into smaller groups for proper recording
5) Have a second observer double check the records
If you wish to<u> mentally estimate</u> the <u>total cost</u> of items, <u>rounding </u>off the items to the<u> nearest half dollar</u>, then you have to consider all five items separately.
Five items cost $1.85, $.98, $3.49, $9.78, and $6.18.
1. $1.85≈$2;
2. $0.98≈$1;
3. $3.49≈$3.50;
4. $9.78≈$10;
5. $6.18≈$6.
Then the total cost is
$2 + $1 + $3.50 + $10 + $6 =$22.50.
Answer: correct choice is C
Add, -11.5x and move it over to 8.5x
Then, subtract them together and you get 20x + 51.86 = 51.76
And you move (subtract) 51. 86 over to 51.76, subtract that and you get 20x = -0.1
Divide, and your answer is -200
