Joshua uses his thermometer and finds the boiling point of ethyl alcohol to be 75 degrees Celsius. He looks in a reference book and finds that the actual boiling point of ethyl alcohol is 80 degrees Celsius. What is his percent error?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent error is calculated by taking the difference of measured value and correct value divided by correct value and multiplied by 100%.

Mathematically,

Percent error = (correct value - measured value)/correct value  * 100%

_________________________________________________

in the problem given

measured value = 75 degrees Celsius

correct value = 80 degrees Celsius ( as given in reference book)

thus,

Percent error = (80 - 75)/80 * 100%

Percent error = (5/80 )* 100% = 6.25%

Percent error calculated by him is  6.25%.

Answer 2

We will see that the percent error in Joshua's measure is:

Pe = 6.25%

How to get the percent error in a measure?

The percent error for a measure is computed as:

[tex]P_E = (\frac{A - M}{A})*100 \%[/tex]

Where A is the accepted value and M is the measured value.

Here we have:

A = 80°C

M = 70°C

Replacing that we get:

[tex]P_E = (\frac{80 \°C - 75 \°C}{80 \°C})*100 \% = 6.25 \%[/tex]

So we can conclude that the percent error is 6.25%

the points scored per game by a professional basketball player are represented by the box plot below if the player scores 9 points and 35 points in the next two games how is the median of the data set affected

Answers

Answer:

The median points per game is not affected.

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare the points scored in the two most recent games to the values given in the box plot to determine how the new values affect the median of the original data set.

The box plot for points scored indicates that the minimum points per game is 11, the maximum is 26 points, and the median is 21 points.

Since the median of 21 is between the two new values of 9 and 35, the median points per game is not affected by the new values.

The x-coordinate of the vertex can be calculated using [tex]x=-\frac{b}{2a}[/tex].

According to the equation given a = 1, and b = 2.

[tex]x=-\frac{b}{2a} =-\frac{2}{2(1)}=-\frac{2}{2} =-1[/tex]

The y-coordinate of the vertex can be calculated by subbing in the x-value from the previous equation (x = -1) for x, and solving for y.

[tex]y=x^{2}+2x-9=(-1)^{2}+2(-1)-9=1-2-9=-10[/tex]

∴ the vertex is (-1,-10).

Answers

Answer:

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by distributing:

4-2(x-5)= x-19

4-2x+10= x-19

Add 19 and 2x to both sides (the -19 and -2x will turn into 0)

4+10+19= 2x+x

Add 4+10+19

33= 3x

Garrett has a current checking account balance of $495. Over the next three days, he receives a direct deposit of $775.75 from his job, pays an annual online banking fee of $34, and makes purchases of $44.21 and $7.92. He then withdraws $80 from an ATM that charges a $2.50 usage fee. What is Garrett's account balance at the end of the 3-day period? Write your answer in numeric form, such as 1369.05.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

495 + 775.75=1270.75

1270.75 - 34=1236.75

1236.75 - 44.21=1192.54

1192.54 - 7.92=1184.62

1184.62 - 82.2=1102.42

Answer:$1102.12

Step-by-step explanation: You just add the $775.75 to the original $495 then from there you subtract the rest of the numbers from the total amount  and you get $1102.12

Answer:

x=4, y=10

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+2)/3= (y-2)/4= (y-x)/3

x+2= y-x ⇒ y= 2x+2(x+2)/3= (2x+2-2)/4 ⇒ (x+2)/3= x/2 ⇒ 2x+4= 3x ⇒ x=4y=2*4+2= 10

Answer:

The value of x is 2 and y is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to do cross multiplications of any 2 fractions :

1st equation,

[tex] \frac{x + 2}{3} = \frac{y - 2}{4} [/tex]

[tex]4(x - 3) = 3(y - 2)[/tex]

[tex]4x + 8 = 3y - 6[/tex]

2nd equation,

[tex] \frac{y - 2}{4} = \frac{y - x}{3} [/tex]

[tex]4(y - x) = 3(y - 2)[/tex]

[tex]4y - 4x = 3y - 6[/tex]

Next, you have to solve the simultaneous equation by elimination :

[tex]4x - 3y = - 14 - - - (1)[/tex]

[tex] - 4x + y = - 6 - - - (2)[/tex]

[tex](1) + (2)[/tex]

[tex]4x - 3y + ( - 4x) + y = - 14 + ( - 6)[/tex]

[tex] - 2y = - 20[/tex]

[tex]y = 10[/tex]

[tex]substitute \: y = 10 \: into \: (1)[/tex]

[tex]4x - 3(10) = - 14[/tex]

[tex]4x - 30 = - 14[/tex]

[tex]4x = - 14 + 30[/tex]

[tex]4x = 16[/tex]

[tex]x = 4[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

5 = 11.25t +14-11.25t +5 =14Andre moved  3x to the left.Diego moved  3x to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving the 2.25t to the right side

2.25t + 5 = 13.5t + 14

5 = 13.5t + 14 - 2.25t

5 = 11.25t +14

Moving the 13.5t to the left side

2.25t + 5 = 13.5t + 14

2.25t + 5 -13.5t= 14

-11.25t +5 =14

Andre moved  3x to the left.

2x + 6 = 3x -8

2x+6-3x=8

-x+6 =8

Diego moved  3x to the right

2x + 6 = 3x -8

6 =3x-8-2x

6= x-8

If it is on sale for 20% OFF and the sale price is $68; what was the original price?

Answers

Answer:

85

Step-by-step explanation:

The discount is original price times the percent off

The sale price is the original price minus the discount

original price - original price * 20 % = 68

Factor out the original price and change the percent to a decimal

original price ( 1 - .20) = 68

original price ( .80) = 68

Divide each side by .80

original price = 68/.80

original price = 85
