Answer:

B. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The precision of a scientific measuring tool can be defined as how close the values between multiple measurements are to each other, when repeated under the same conditions.

This ultimately implies that, the precision of a scientific measuring tool reflects the reproducibility and repeatability of its measurements, irrespective of how accurate the measurements are.

In science, one of the most effective ways to determine the precision of a scientific measuring tool is to find the difference between the highest and lowest measurements (measured values).

Given the following number; 16.82

The last digit "2" in 16.82 represents the hundredth value and should be used to determine the level of precision of the number.

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Number of people employed this year = 373

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of employees this year = x

These employees were decreased by 4% then the remaining number of employees this year = x - (4% of x)

= x - 0.04x

= 0.96x

If last year number of people employed were 389 then the number of people employed this year = 0.96×389

= 373.44

When rounded to whole number, number of people employed this year = 373.

Answer:

Yes the relationship is linear and given by:

$y+2=-\frac{5}{4} \,(x+9)$ (first option of your list)

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, it is a linear expression. As we did in previous exercises, we calculate the difference between consecutive y values of the table, and write down the answers we get:

-7-(-2) = -7+2 = -5

-12-(-7) = -12 +7 = -5

-17 - (-12) = -17 + 12 = -5

We notice that all of them give "-5"

Now we evaluate the difference between consecutive x-values in a similar fashion:

-5 -(-9) = -5+9 = 4

-1-(-5) = -1+5 = 4

3-(-1) = 3+1 = 4

We see that they all give 4 as the difference.

That means that the rate of change $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{y_3-y_2}{x_3-x_2}=\frac{y_4-y_3}{x_4-x_3}=\frac{-5}{4}$

This means that the slope (rate of change) of the line is "-5/4"

We can now use the general point-slope form to write the equation of the line, using the first pair of the table as our selected point, and using "-5/4" for the slope:

$y-y_0=m\,(x-x_0)\\y-(-2)=-\frac{5}{4} \,(x-(-9))\\y+2=-\frac{5}{4} \,(x+9)$

which is the first expression listed among your possible answer choices.
