Your true height is 70.2 inches. A laser device at a health clinic that gives measurements to thenearest hundredth reads your height as 71.05 inches. A tape measure gives reading to the nearest haftinches gives your height as 69.5 inches. State which measurement is more precise and which measurementis more accurate and explain why.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Accuracy = Tape measurement.

Precision = Laser measurement

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

True height, = 70.2 inches

Laser measured height = 71.05 (nearest hundredth)

Tape measured height = 69.5 - nearest half inch.

Accuracy simply means how close a measured value is to the true value of the measurement. ;

True height - tape measurement

70.2 - 69.5 = 0.7

True measurement - laser measurement :

|70.2 - 71.05| = 0.85

Fron the difference in the values, the measurement which is closer to the true height is the tape measurement.

However, in terms of detail in the measured value, the laser measure value is expressed to the nearest hundredth, hence giving it more precision over the tape measured value.

which of the following are solutions to the quadratic equation below? x^2+7x=8

Answers

Answer:

x = -8, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

[tex]x^2+7x=8[/tex]

Move 8 to the other side:

[tex]x^2+7x-8=8-8\\x^2+7x-8=0[/tex]

Now, we can ask ourselves: what two factors of -8 add to 7? Those two numbers would be 8 and -1. Knowing this, factor:

[tex](x+8)(x-1)=0[/tex]

Because of the zero product property (that states that if the product of two numbers is 0, then one of the numbers must be equal to 0), we can find the solutions to the quadratic by setting each term equal to 0:

[tex]x+8=0\\x=-8[/tex]    

[tex]x-1=0\\x=1[/tex]

Therefore, the solutions of the quadratic are -8 and 1.

After how many streams will you pay for the distributor charges? (Hint: this is where the line crosses the x-axis, round to the nearest thousand)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph, you will see that the line cross the x-axis at x = 8.8

Substitute into the expression y = 40x + 4

y = 40(8.8)+4

y = 352 + 4

y = 356

When a figure only looks like itself after a full rotation of 360°, it is said to have rotational symmetry of degree 1. All of the figures here will return to their original appearance after one 360° rotation.

                             0.85         [tex](-)[/tex]        

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

10% of the rugby team members use steroids

so Probability of using steroid; P( use steroid ) = 10% = 0.10

Probability of not using steroid; P( no steroid use ) = 1 - 0.10 = 0.90

Since the test show positive for an athlete who uses steroids, 95% of the time.

Probability of using steroids and testing positive = 95% = 0.95

Probability of using steroids and testing Negative = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

Also from the test, 15% of all steroid-free individuals also test positive.

so

Probability of not using steroids and testing positive = 15% = 0.15

Probability of not using steroids and testing negative = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85

To set up the probability tree, Let;

[tex](S)[/tex] represent steroid use

[tex](S_{no})[/tex] represent no steroid use

[tex](+)[/tex] represent test positive

[tex](-)[/tex] represent test negative

so we have;

          0.1              0.05        [tex](-)[/tex]

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

mean = 266

sd = 14

cumulative probability = 0.01 so the standard score = -2.33 and 2.33 to the right and left

we find X-upper and X-lower

X-lower = 266-2.33*14 = 233.38

X-upper = 266+2.33*14 = 298.62

Between 233.38 and 298.62

we have sample size = 35

X-lower = 266-2.33*14/√35 = 260.49

X-upper = 266+2.33*14/√35 = 271.5

Between 260.49 and 271.5

b. cumulative probaility = 0.25

standard score = 1.96 to the right and left

x-lower = 6.9-1.96x0.9 = 5.14

x-upper = 6.9+1.96x0.9 = 8.66

Between 5.14 and 8.66

if sample size = 45

x-lower = 6.9-1.96*0.9/√45 = 6.64

x-upper = 6.9+1.96*0.9/√45 = 7.2

Between 6.64 and 7.2

c. standard scores would have cut off value at 0.67 and -0,67

x-lower = 265.3-0.67x15.2 = 255.12

x-upper = 265.3+0.67x15.2 = 275.48

Between 255.12 and 275.48

d. we will have critical values at 1.00 and -1.00

X-lower = 265-1x16 = 249

x-upper = 265+1x16 = 281

Between 249 and 281

with sample size = 44

x-lower = 265-1x16/√44 = 262.59

x-upper = 265+1x16/√44 = 267.41

Between 262.59 and 267.41

An adult can lose or gain two pounds of water ina course of a day. Assume that the changes in water weight isuniformly distributed between minus two and plus two pounds in aday. What is the standard deviation of your weight over a day?

Answers

Answer:

The standard deviation of your weight over a day is of 1.1547 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Uniform probability distribution:

An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b, and the standard deviation is:

[tex]S = \sqrt{\frac{(b-a)^2}{12}}[/tex]

Assume that the changes in water weight is uniformly distributed between minus two and plus two pounds in a day.

This means that [tex]a = -2, b = 2[/tex]

What is the standard deviation of your weight over a day?

[tex]S = \sqrt{\frac{(2 - (-2))^2}{12}} = \sqrt{\frac{4^2}{12}} = \sqrt{\frac{16}{12}} = 1.1547[/tex]

The standard deviation of your weight over a day is of 1.1547 pounds.

Relative frequency refers to the percentage or proportion of times that a given value occurs within a set of numbers, such as in the data recorded for a variable in a survey data set.

Given that:

In a survey conducted at a pet store, 150 customers were asked if they owned birds or fish.

By the data on the table:

Total (own fish) = 0.04 + 0.08 = 0.12

So, own fish = 0.12

This is the opposite in this case. The triangles share two sides and we know that the triangle with the side length 18 has a bigger angle than the triangle with the side length 15. So this means that

[tex]48 > 2x - 10[/tex]

Let find the range of x values.

An angle cannot be negative or zero so this means that

[tex]2x - 10 > 0[/tex]

Solve for x.

[tex]2x > 10[/tex]

The angle cannot be bigger than 48 so
