Round 87,365,219 to the nearest million

Alejandro uses the steps below to convert

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

The division was computed incorrectly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Workings:

$\frac{5}{8}$ to percentage

$\frac{8}{5} = 1.6 = 160\%$

Required

Explain his error

The question says 5/8

Instead, Alejandro's working shows 8/5.

This working is done in an incorrect order and the correct solution is:

Let

$x = \frac{5}{8}$

Solve the fraction

$x = 0.625$

Multiply by 100%

$x = 0.625 * 100\%$

$x = 62.5\%$

<em>Hence, option (a) is correct.</em>

In 2000, the mayo clinic conducted a study of whether air dryers eliminate more germs than paper towels. researchers recruited 1

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

This is an observational study based on a stratified sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

This study aimed to check which clean-up/drying up method after handwashing was more effective; that is, do dryers eliminate more germs than paper towels.

It involved 100 people that took part in the study. The 100 of them contaminated their hands and were instructed to wash their hands with soap and water for 15 seconds before the participants are randomly grouped into two strata; one stratum/group (consisting of 50 participants) that dries their hands with a dryer and another (also consisting of 50 participants) that dry their hands with paper towels.

An observational study is one in which data is collected only by monitoring the events of the study. The conductor of the study in no way tries to intervene or control any of the variables being studied. No control, no tweaking of factors, just observe and record data.

An observational study based on a stratified sample is an observational study that uses the stratified sampling method to carry out its objectives. It randomly puts each of the participants being observed into groups or strata. Each group of randomly assigned participants are then required to run the test for one of the variables being compared.

This is exactly what the study in the question describes. This is why this study is undoubtedly an observational study based on a stratified sample.

Hope this Helps!!!

A baby is weighed on a defective scale. He weighed 28 pounds according to the scale. He weighs 25 pounds on an effective scale.

Anettt [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

expected weight= 28pounds

Actual weight= 25 pound

Required:

percent error

$\delta = \left| \frac{v_A - v_E}{v_E} \right| \cdot 100\%$

δ= percent error

vA =actual value observed

vE =expected value

δ=25-28/28*100

δ=-3/28*100

δ=0.107*100

δ=10.7%

The percent error is 10.7%
