Answer:

  • absolute error: 0.4 kg
  • relative error: 6.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute error is the difference between the estimate and the actual weight:

  7.0 kg -6.6 kg = 0.4 kg . . . . absolute error

__

The relative error is the ratio of the absolute error to the actual weight:

  (0.4 kg)/(6.6 kg) × 100% = 6.060606...% ≈ 6.1% . . . . relative error

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Brian could have more juice than Sonya in actual sense, This is because the representation used, that is the container has been calibrated to show tenth. This means that decimal values of juice in the container will not show explicit volume beyond tenth. Hence the volume will be rounded.

For instance, if the actual volume of juice Brian has Is 0.74 and that owned by Sonya is 0.69. In actual sense, 0.74 > 0.69 . However, if both pour their juice into the calibrated container, Brian's volume will be rounded to the nearest tenth as 0.7 and Sonya's (0.69) will also be rounded to 0.7.

But in actual sense, Brian has more Juice than Sonya.
