A flat rate shipping box is in the shape of a rectangular prism. You estimate that the volume of the box is 350 cubic inches. You measure the box and find that it has a length of 10 inches, a width of 9 inches, and a height of 4.5 inches. Find the percent error. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Please help thank you!!!

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

15.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

You can't add points once you have posted the question. For those who are interested 50 points is more than enough.

Remark

There are two ways of calculating % error. Chemistry uses one way. Most others use the second method. I have used the second method.

Measurements

L = 10 in

w = 9 in

h = 4.5 in

Estimated result

350 cubic cm

Solution

Find the volume from the measurements of the Prism

V = L * w * h

V = 10 * 9 * 4.5

V = 405 in^3

Percent Error

% error = 100 * (Calculated Value - Estimated value)/(Estimated Value)

% error = 100 * (405 - 350)/350

% error = 100 * ( 55) / 350

% error = 15.71      

% error = 15.7      (rounded)

It is common knowledge that a fair coin lands heads up 50% of the time and tails up 50% of the time. For fair coins, a probability of 0 is assigned to the coin landing on its edge. But what if several coins were glued together? A teacher claims that if 10 pennies were glued together and flipped many times, the penny stack would land on heads 25% of the time, tails 25% of the time, and on its edge 50% of the time. To investigate this claim, a student glues 10 pennies together and flips the stack 200 times. The student would like to know if there is convincing evidence that the distribution differs from what the teacher claimed. What are the appropriate hypotheses?

H0: The distribution of flips is 25% heads, 25% tails, and 50% edge.
Ha: The distribution of flips is not 25% heads, 25% tails, and 50% edge.
H0: The distribution of flips is not 25% heads, 25% tails, and 50% edge.

Answers

Answer:

The penny stack will land on heads 50 times, tails 50 times, and on its edge 100 times when flipped 200 times

Step-by-step explanation:

25% of 200=50

50% of 200=100

So, the coin will land 50 times on heads, 50 times on tails and 100 times on edge

Instructions: Find the measure of the indicated angle.

Answers

Answer:

x = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is an isosceles triangle, two sides are equal (that's why we took two x)

2x = 180- 110

2x = 70

x = 70/2

x = 35

The measure of the indicated angle is 35 degrees.

What is the angle sum property?

A triangle is a polygon that has three sides and three vertices. It is one of the basic figures in geometry.

The angle sum property of a triangle states that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

We are given that;

Angle = 110degree

Now,

x+x+110=180

2x+110=180

2x=180-110

2x=70

x=70/2

x=35

Therefore, by the angle sum property of triangles the answer will be 35degree.

Answers

Answer:

124°

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is

sum = 180° (n - 2) ← n is the number of sides

here n = 7 ( heptagon has 7 sides ) , then

sum = 180° × 5 = 900°

let x be the final interior angle , then

The lines represented by these equations are
(1) parallel
(2) the same line
(3) perpendicular

Answers

Using linear function concepts, it is found that the two lines can be classified as:

(4) intersecting, but not perpendicular.

What is a linear function?

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

The slope defines if the lines are parallel or perpendicular, as follows:

If they are parallel, they have the same slope.If they are perpendicular, the multiplication of the slopes is of -1.If the multiplication of -1, and the slopes are different, they are intersecting.

In this problem, the lines in slope-intercept formula are:

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

[tex]y = \frac{3}{2}x + 3 \rightarrow m = \frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Then:

[tex]\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{2} = 1[/tex]

So they are intersecting and not perpendicular, which means that option 4 is correct.
