Answer:
approximation is often useful when it is not a very good one
Answer:
1. Precise
2.Both
3.Precise
5.Neither
Step-by-step explanation:
Accuracy is the closeness of a measured value to a standard value.
Precision is the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.
1.The norm is 45 sit-ups in a minute.The students did, 64, 69,65 and 67. Values are not accurate compared to standard value 45.
Values are precise
Answer--Precise
2. Average score is 89.5
Scores are 89,93,91,87
Values are precise i.e a difference of 2 from each score
Values are accurate because the average score is 90 thus compared to the known average score of 89.5 they are accurate.
Answer-Both
3. Yesterday temperature=89
Tomorrow=88
Next day=90
Average =75
Values are precise i.e. difference of ± 1°
Values are not accurate compared to the average temperatures of 75 F
Answer---Precise
5. The jar contained 568 pennies
The 6 people guessed the numbers as
735,209,390,300,1005, 689
The values are not precise
The values are not accurate
Answer---Neither
I am presuming that the question is who won or by how much did the winner win.
distance equals rate times time, or d = r*t
For the Hare d = 1600 and r = 10
1600 = 10 t
Divide both sides by 10
t = 160
The hare finished in 160 seconds
For the tortoise d = 1600 - 780 = 820 (due to the head start) and r = 5.3
820= 5.3 t
Divide both sides by 5.3
t = 154.72 (rounded to the hundredths place)
The tortoise won by 5. 28 seconds (160-154.72)
Answer:
Veronika's weight = 92 pounds
Kate's weight = 46 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Veronika's weight = x
Let Kate's weight = y
The sum of Veronika's and Kate's weight is 118 pounds.
x + y = 118
Veronika weighs 26 pounds more than Kate.
x = y + 26
How much do they weigh individually?
We substitute y + 26 for x in Equation 1
x + y = 118
y + 26 + y = 118
26 + 2y = 118
2y = 118 - 26
2y = 92
y = 92/2
y = 46 pounds
x = y + 26
x = 46 + 26
x = 92 pounds
Hence,
Veronika's weight = 92 pounds
Kate's weight = 46 pounds
