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%

If I understand what you are asking, you can use the median as an average since it is not affected by the mean ( median is a measure of center).  Since a mean is affected by outliers, it might lower the score if there are very low outliers. But note that if there are outliers way <em>greater </em>it can increase the average. You can use the Inter Quartile Range if shown on a box plot ( measure of variability).

3/7 =9/x<br><br><br><br> solve the following proportions ( they are fractions) thanks!
tresset_1 [31]
3/7 = 9/x
cross multiply because thats how u solve proportions
(3)(x) = (7)(9)
3x = 63
x = 63/3
x = 21

and if u will notice : 3/7 and 9/21 ....9/21 reduces to 3/7....so these are equivalent fractions...because proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions
