Answer:

Percentage of error by Clare is estimated as 4.1667 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Height measured by Clare = 4 feet

Height measured by Doctor = 4 feet, 2 inches

Percentage error = ?

Percentage error = Difference/ Actual height *100

Percentage error = (2/ (4*12))*100

Percentage error = 4.1667 %

The accurate height is measured by Doctor, as he have more accurate measurement system.

Which is a true statement?
julsineya [31]
B.  <span>–4.37 < –1.63  is the true statement. -4.37 is less than -1.63

A. <span>–4.28 > –3.56 * should be less than
</span>C. <span>5.7 < 5.63      * should be greater than
</span>D. -13.90 > 4.63 *should be less than

In dealing with negative numbers, the greater the negative number is, the lesser its value. 4.37 is a greater number than 1.63 in its positive form, however, its negative form give 4.37 a lesser value than 1.63 in its negative form.

kirill [66]

Answer:

\frac{1}{5} fraction of gallon is in each bottle.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given condition: G.O is going on a hike in the mountains on a hot summer day he has 4/5 gallon of water that he split into 4 bottles.

⇒ in 4 bottle  he has \frac{4}{5} gallon of water.

Unit rates defined as when are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 3 feet per second or 4 miles per hour, then they are called unit rates.

By unit rate definition,

In 1 bottle he has = \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{5} gallon of water.

therefore, the gallon in each bottle in fraction is, \frac{1}{5}

If y has moment-generating function m(t) = e 6(e t −1) , what is p(|y − µ| ≤ 2σ)?
Lostsunrise [7]
Since \mathrm M_Y(t)=e^{6(e^t-1}, we know that Y follows a Poisson distribution with parameter \lambda=6.

Now assuming \mu,\sigma denote the mean and standard deviation of Y, respectively, then we know right away that \mu=6 and \sigma=\sqrt6.

So,

\mathbb P(|Y-\mu|\le2\sigma)=\mathbb P(6-2\sqrt6\le Y\le6+2\sqrt6)=\dfrac{66366}{175e^6}\approx0.940028

At a football game, Ben purchased x hot dogs and y drinks. He spent a total of $30.70. The equation below describes the relation
Yuki888 [10]
So I had to reread this about 3 times before it finally clicked, I've never done a problem like this before. An ordered pair is organized like so: (x-coordinate, y-coordinate) Meaning x=4 and y=6. If x=hot dogs and y=drinks then this means that Ben purchased 4 hot dogs and 6 drinks at the game. 

Hope this helps!! (:
