You estimate that a kitten weighs 15 pounds. The actual weight of the kitten is 8 pounds. Find the percent error.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

87.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is simple. You thought the kitten weighed 15 pounds but really weighs 8. The first thing you would do is subtract the guess minus the actual.

15 - 8 = 7.

That person was off by 7.

So you would put it as a fraction over the actual weight. 7/8. Then turn your fraction into a decimal and turn that decimal into a percent.

7 divided by 8 = 0.875.

0.875 as a percent is 87.5%.

So the percent error is 87.5%.

While fractions are more exact, it will always depend on the scenario. You aren't going to give the amount of money something is as a fraction, that will always be a decimal. However, in most math circumstances, fractions can get more straight to the point since there is no such thing as a truly repeating fraction.

Solve this simultaneous equation x+2y=11
x-2y=1

Answers

Answer:

Equation 1,

[tex]x + 2y = 11[/tex]

Equation 2,

[tex]x - 2y = 11[/tex]

Take equation number 2.

[tex]x - 2y = 11 \\ x = 11 + 2y[/tex]

Substitute 'x' in Equation number 1.

[tex]x + 2y = 11 \\ 11 + 2y + 2y = 11 \\ 11 + 4y = 11 \\ 4y = 11 - 11 \\ 4y = 0 \\ y = \frac{0}{4} \\ y = 0[/tex]

y = 0.

So x,

[tex]x = 11 - 2y \\ x = 11 - 2(0) \\ x = 11 - 0 \\ x = 11[/tex]

x = 11.

Answer:

using elimination method multiply both equations by 2...then subtract equation 2 from 1

Lila plans to open an account with a deposit of $12,000. She plans to invest the money for 8 years in one of the following accounts:
An account that pays an annual simple interest of 7.5%, or
An account that pays 6% interest compounded annually.
If Lila invests in the account that will earn her more interest over these 8 years, how much interest will she earn?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $7200

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of simple interest can be found from ...

  I = Prt . . . . . . . where principal P is invested at annual rate r for t years

__

The amount of compound interest can be found from ...

  I = P((1 +r)^t -1) . . . . . same variable definitions

__

The amount of simple interest earned is ...

  I = 12000·0.075·8 = 7200

The amount of compound interest earned is ...

  I = 12000(1.06^8 -1) ≈ 7126.18

In this scenario, the simple interest account earns more interest. If Lila chooses that one, the amount of interest earned is $7200.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, First let us find the amount of numbers in a die greater than 3.

Remember greater than 3 does not include 3.

We have 3 numbers, 4,5,6 that are greater than 3.

The probabilty of getting a rolling a number greater than 3 is 3/6.

The  probability of the coin landing on heads is 1/2.

BUT, the problem is only requiring for you to find the probabilty of rolling a dice greater than 3. (key words)

Which is 3/6 or simplified to 1/2.

Thirty percent of credit card holders carry no monthly balance, while 70% do. Of those card holders carrying a balance, 30% have annual income $20,000 or less, 40% between $20,001 - $50,000, and 30% over $50,000. Of those card holders carrying no balance, 20%, 30%, and 50% have annual incomes in these three respective categories.
a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen card holder has annual income $20,000 or less?
b) If this card holder has an annual income that is $20,000 or less, what is the probability that (s)he carries a balance?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.27 = 27% probability that a randomly chosen card holder has annual income $20,000 or less.

b) 0.778 = 77.8% probability that (s)he carries a balance

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen card holder has annual income $20,000 or less?

20% of 30%(carry no balance).

30% of 70%(carry balance). So

[tex]P = 0.2*0.3 + 0.3*0.7 = 0.06 + 0.21 = 0.27[/tex]

0.27 = 27% probability that a randomly chosen card holder has annual income $20,000 or less.

b) If this card holder has an annual income that is $20,000 or less, what is the probability that (s)he carries a balance?

Conditional probability.

Event A: Annual income of $20,000 or less.

Event B: Carries a balance.

0.27 = 27% probability that a randomly chosen card holder has annual income $20,000 or less

This means that [tex]P(A) = 0.27[/tex]

Probability of a income of $20,000 or less and balance.

30% of 70%, so:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.3*0.7 = 0.21[/tex]

The probability is:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.21}{0.27} = 0.778[/tex]

0.778 = 77.8% probability that (s)he carries a balance

Answer:

1<a/b<2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

bro you're gonna give me brainless ://

We are given 4<a<5 and 2<b<4 and are asked to find a/b.

Since there is a wide range of values of numbers from 4 to 5 and 2 to 4, there is no definite answer to this. However, we can take the most extreme values here and write them on the opposite ends of the inequality.

For example, the lowest value here is >4/4 (>1) because that is the smallest value from the first inequality divided by the largest value from the second inequality. The other extreme is the biggest value possible, which is <5/2 (<2.5).

Given these extremes, we can now rewrite the inequality.

(smallest value)<a/b<(largest value)

Answers

Given:

In the given triangle the measure of two angles are 102 degree and 28 degrees and the sides of the triangle are a, 27 cm, c.

To find:

The value of a.

Solution:

Let the given triangle be ABC, such that,

[tex]m\angle B=28^\circ[/tex]

[tex]m\angle C=102^\circ[/tex]

[tex]b=27\ cm[/tex]

Using angle sum property of triangles, we get

[tex]m\angle A+m\angle B+m\angle C=180^\circ[/tex]

[tex]m\angle A+28^\circ+102^\circ=180^\circ[/tex]

[tex]m\angle A=180^\circ-28^\circ-102^\circ[/tex]

[tex]m\angle A=50^\circ[/tex]

According to the Law of Sines:

[tex]\dfrac{\sin A}{a}=\dfrac{\sin B}{b}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\sin 50^\circ }{a}=\dfrac{\sin 28^\circ }{27}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{27\times \sin 50^\circ }{\sin 28^\circ}=a[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{27\times \sin 50^\circ }{\sin 28^\circ}=a[/tex]

[tex]a\approx 44.06[/tex]

Therefore, the value of a is about 44.06 cm.
