Answer:

5.79%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage error in the measurement is obtained by;

|measured temperature - actual temperature|/actual temperature ×100

actual temperature= 95°F

measured temperature= 100.5°F

|100.5 - 95|/95×100

%error= 5.79%

Use logarithms to solve each equation 2x9/8=111
Illusion [34]
<span>We have this equation:
</span>
2x^{\frac{9}{8}} = 111

and we need to find the value of x.

First of all, we multiply the whole equation for 1/2, so our goal is to isolate x, therefore:

x^{\frac{9}{8}}=\frac{111}{2}
 
Next step we must do is to apply <span>logarithms:
</span>
logx^{\frac{9}{8}} = log(\frac{111}{2})

Next, we have to apply identities and then to solve the equation:

\frac{9}{8}logx = log(\frac{111}{2})
logx =  \frac{8}{9}log(\frac{111}{2})
logx = 1.5504
10^{logx} =  10^{1.5504}

Finally, we have the value of x which was our goal. This is the answer for the question above:

x= 35.5140

Assume that 2 cards are drawn from a standard 52-card deck. Find the following probabilities.
topjm [15]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

WITHOUT replacement of first card drawn:

P(a 10 is drawn) = 13/52 = 1/4

P(the next draw is a 10) = 12/52 = 3/13

P(drawing two 10s without replacement of the first draw) = (1/4)(3/13) = 3/52

WITH replacement of first card:

P(two 10s are drawn) = P(first card is a 10)*P(first card is a 10) = (4/13)(4/13) =

16/169
