A zookeeper predicted that the weight of a newborn lion would be 2.8 pounds.
When the zoo’s lion gave birth, the newborn weighed 3.5 pounds.
What is the zookeeper’s percent error? Round to the nearest percent.

Answers

Answer 1

There is 20% error in zookeeper's calculations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Approx weight of newborn lion = Approx value =2.8 pounds

Exact weight of newborn lion = Exact value = 3.5 pounds

Percent error = [tex]\frac{|approx-exact|}{exact}*100[/tex]

Percent error = [tex]\frac{|2.8-3.5|}{3.5}*100\\[/tex]

Percent error = [tex]\frac{|-0.7|}{3.5}*100[/tex]

Percent error = [tex]\frac{70}{3.5}[/tex]

Percent error = 20%

There is 20% error in zookeeper's calculations.

Answer 2

Final answer:

To find the zookeeper's percent error, subtract the predicted weight from the actual weight to find the absolute error, divide by the actual weight, multiply by 100, and round to the nearest percent. The percent error in predicting the weight of the newborn lion is 20 percent.

Explanation:

To calculate the zookeeper's percent error in predicting the weight of a newborn lion, we follow these steps:

Round to the nearest percent.

The zookeeper predicted the weight would be 2.8 pounds, but the actual weight was 3.5 pounds. So the absolute error is:

|Predicted Weight - Actual Weight| = |2.8 pounds - 3.5 pounds| = 0.7 pounds

Then, divide the absolute error by the actual weight:

0.7 pounds / 3.5 pounds = 0.2

Multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage:

0.2 × 100 = 20%

Since we round to the nearest percent, the zookeeper's percent error is 20 percent.

OA) 981 cm

Answers

Answer:

100cm

Step-by-step explanation:

since the circumference is 20cm and formula for finding a circumference of a circle is c=2(pi)r, where r is radius and pi is constant value which is equivalent to 22/7. so the radius of 20cm circumference is 3.1847 by using this eqn c/2(pi)=r. now the calculated radius will b multiply by 5 to get 15.92cm which is put in cirumference formula i.e. c=2(pi)r we get 100cm circumference.

Ivanna is a software saleswoman. Let y represent her total pay (in dollars). Let x represent the number of copies of History is Fun she sells. Suppose that x and
y are related by the equation 2400+120x = y.
Answer the questions below.
Note that a change can be an increase or a decrease.
For an increase, use a positive number. For a decrease, use a negative number.
What is the change in Ivanna's total pay for each copy of History is Fun she sells?
$
What is Ivanna's total pay if she doesn't sell any copies of History is Fun?

Answers

1. For every extra copy, Ivanna sells she gets an additional 120 dollars (+$120) and for every less copy she loses $120 dollars (-$120).

2. Ivanna's total pay is $2,400 if she doesn't sell any copies of History is Fun.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

y = 2,400 + 120x, where y is Ivanna's total pay and x is the number of copies of history is fun she sells.

To calculate the change is Ivanna's pay we find the difference in pay for two consecutive values of y.

We must calculate y when x is of consecutive values i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4 ...

Step 2:

We calculate the value of y when x = 1, 2 and 3.

When x = 1, y = 2,400 + 120 (1) = 2,400 + 120 = $2,520.

When x = 2, y = 2,400 + 120 (2) = 2,400 + 240 = $2,640.

When x = 3, y = 2,400 + 120 (3) = 2,400 + 360 = $2,760.

Step 3:

To calculate the increase in her pay for a copy, we subtract y when x = 2 from y when x = 3.

(y when x = 3) - (y when x = 2) = $2,760 - $2,640 = $120.

So for every extra copy, Ivanna gets an extra $120.

To calculate the decrease in her pay for a copy, we subtract y when x = 3 from y when x = 2.

(y when x = 2) - (y when x = 3) = $2,640 - $2,760 = -$120.

So for every less copy, Ivanna loses $120.

Step 4:

To calculate her pay when she doesn't sell any copies of history is fun, we substitute the value of x as 0 in y.

When x = 0, y = 2,400 + 120 (0) = $2,400.

So Ivanna earns $2,400 if she doesn't sell any copies of history is fun.

A group of construction workers were able to lay 27 bricks in an hour on a new house. This was 30% of the total number of bricks laid that day. What was the total number of bricks laid that day?

Answers

A total of 90 bricks were laid that day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of bricks laid in one hour = 27

This represents 30% of total bricks laid that day.

Let,

x be the total number of bricks laid that day.

30% of x = 27

[tex]\frac{30}{100}*x=27\\0.3x=27[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 0.3

[tex]\frac{0.3x}{0.3}=\frac{27}{0.3}\\x=90[/tex]

A total of 90 bricks were laid that day.

9.0758 to 2 significant figures.

Answers

Answer w/ explanation:

The answer is 9.1

To round to 2 significant figures, we have to find the first significant figure. We find the first sig fig by looking for the first nonzero digit in the number (it can be before or after the decimal point), which is "9"

The next digit is "0". This will also be a significant figure in our answer.

It may seem we are done now since we found the two significant figures. However, let's look at the digit after "0" to see if we need to round up or down.

The digit after "0" is "7". Since 7 is greater than 5, we round up the "0" to a "1" in our final answer, making the answer 9.1

Side note:

The definition and concept of significant figures can be very confusing overall, so please continue to ask questions if you are still struggling with them.

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

~ Padoru

A number 9.0758 to 2 significant figures is, 9.1

We have to give that,

A number is,

41​% adults favor the use of unmanned drones by police agencies. Twelve U.S. adults are randomly selected. Find the probability that the number of U.S. adults who favor the use of unmanned drones by police agencies is​ (a) exactly​ three, (b) at least​ four, (c) less than eight.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

41%

(a) P(X = 3) ≈ 0.2687

(b) P(X ≥ 4) ≈ 0.9852

(c) P(X < 8) ≈ 0.9998

These probabilities were calculated using the binomial probability formula for a 41% favorability rate and 12 trials.

To find the probability in this scenario, we can use the binomial probability formula. Let's break down each part of the question:

(a) To find the probability that exactly three out of twelve U.S. adults favor the use of unmanned drones, we can use the binomial probability formula:

P(X = k) = (n choose k) ×[tex]p^k[/tex] ×[tex](1-p)^(n-k)[/tex]

Where:

n is the number of trials (12 in this case).

k is the specific number of successes we're interested in (3 in this case).

p is the probability of success (41% or 0.41 in decimal form).

P(X = 3) = (12 choose 3) × [tex](0.41^3)[/tex] × [tex](0.59^9)[/tex]

Calculate this using a binomial calculator or software to find the exact probability.

(b) To find the probability that at least four out of twelve U.S. adults favor the use of drones, we need to calculate the complementary probability of having fewer than four favoring drones and subtract it from 1:

P(X ≥ 4) = 1 - [P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)]

(c) To find the probability that less than eight out of twelve U.S. adults favor the use of drones, calculate:

P(X < 8) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + ... + P(X = 7)

You can compute these probabilities using a binomial calculator or statistical software to get the precise answers.

1. Find the x-intercept of the line: 5x - y = 10

2. Find the y-intercept of the line: 9x + 3y = -18

3. What are the x- and y- intercepts of the graph of 6x - 4y = -12

Answers

Final answer:

The x-intercept of the line 5x - y = 10 is (2, 0), the y-intercept of the line 9x + 3y = -18 is (0, -6), and the equation 6x - 4y = -12 has an x-intercept at (-2, 0) and a y-intercept at (0, 3).

Explanation:

To find the x-intercept of a line, we set the value of y to zero and solve for x. For the equation 5x - y = 10, we set y to 0:

5x - (0) = 10

5x = 10

x = 2

The x-intercept is therefore the point (2, 0).

To find the y-intercept of a line, we set the value of x to zero and solve for y. For the equation 9x + 3y = -18, we set x to 0:

(0) + 3y = -18

3y = -18

y = -6

The y-intercept is therefore the point (0, -6).

For the equation 6x - 4y = -12, the x-intercept and y-intercept can be found similarly. Let's start with the x-intercept. Set y to 0:

6x - (0) = -12

6x = -12

x = -2

The x-intercept is the point (-2, 0). Now, for the y-intercept, we set x to 0:

(0) - 4y = -12

-4y = -12

y = 3

The y-intercept is the point (0, 3). Thus, for 6x - 4y = -12, the intercepts are x = -2 and y = 3.
