An engineer is estimating the weight of a steel beam. the actual weight of the beam is 286 pounds. the engineer's estimate is 300 pounds.
find the absolute error and the percent error of the engineer's estimate. if necessary, round your answers to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

The Absolute error of the engineer's estimate is 14 pounds and the percent error is 4.89 % .

Absolute Error is defined as the difference between The Actual value and the estimated value .

Percent Error is defined as the difference between The Actual value and the estimated value in comparison to actual value expressed in percent .

[tex]Percent Error=\frac{|Estimated Value-Actual value|}{Actual Value} *100[/tex]

Given that the Estimated value =300 pounds

Actual Value=286 pounds

Absolute Error=300-286=14 pounds

Percent Error=[tex]\frac{|300-286|}{286} *100[/tex]

=[tex]\frac{14}{286} *100=4.89[/tex]%

Therefore , The Absolute error of the engineer's estimate is 14 pounds and the percent error is 4.89 % .

Answer:

350p2+19500p-199000

(The first term is actually -350p² but I guess you have to write it as -350p2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Looks like that first term in the revenue equation is -350p²

We have
E = -1500p + 199000
R = -350p² + 18000p

Profit = Revenue - Expenses = R - P

Profit = -350p² + 18000p - (-1500p + 199000)

= 350p² + 18000p + 1500p - 199000

= 350p² + 19500p - 199000

Using the fact that the two angles are complementary, the we will find that the measures are:

∠1 = = 14°

∠2  = 76°

How to find the measures of the angles?

By looking at the diagram, we can see that the sum of the measures of angles 1 and 2 must be equal to 90° (this means that the two angles are complementary).

We also can see that:

∠1 = x - 5

∠2 = 4x

Then we can solve the linear relation:

(x - 5) + 4x = 90

x - 5 + 4x = 90

5x - 5 = 90

5x = 90 + 5 = 95

x = 95/5 = 19

Then the measures of the two angles are:

∠1 = (x - 5)° = (19 - 5)° = 14°

∠2 = 4x = 4*19° = 76°

Solve the following:

1. even integers between 1 and 101
2. first 25 terms of the arithmetic sequence 4, 9, 14, 19, 24 ...​

Answers

Answer:

1.  2550

2.  1600

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1

Even Integer: A whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero, and that can be divided exactly by 2.

Even integers between 1 and 101:  

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ... , 100

This forms an arithmetic sequence with:

first term (a) = 2common difference (r) = 2

Sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series:

[tex]\boxed{S_n=\dfrac12n[2a+(n-1)d]}[/tex]

There are 50 even integers between 1 and 101.  

Therefore, to find the sum of the even integers between 1 and 101, substitute n = 50 and the found values of a and r into the formula:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies S_{50} & =\dfrac{1}{2}(50)[2(2)+(50-1)2]\\\\& =25[4+(49)2]\\\\& =25[4+98]\\\\& =25[102]\\\\& = 2550\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the sum of the even integers between 1 and 100 is 2550.

Question 2

Given arithmetic sequence:

4, 9, 14, 19, 24, ...

From inspection of the given arithmetic sequence:

first term (a) = 4common difference (r) = 9 - 4 = 5

Sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series:

[tex]\boxed{S_n=\dfrac12n[2a+(n-1)d]}[/tex]

To find the sum of the first 25 terms of the given arithmetic sequence, substitute n = 25 and the found values of a and r into the formula:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies S_{25} & =\dfrac{1}{2}(25)[2(4)+(25-1)5]\\\\& =\dfrac{25}{2}[8+(24)5]\\\\& =\dfrac{25}{2}[8+120]\\\\& =\dfrac{25}{2}[128]\\\\& = \dfrac{3200}{2}\\\\& = 1600\end{aligned}[/tex]

Each day a small business owner sells 200 pizza slices at $2.50 per slice and 85 sandwiches at $2.00 each. Business
expenses come to $60 per day. What is the owner's profit for a ten-day period?
The profit is S

Answers

The owner's profit for a ten-day period is equal to $ 6100.

We are given that:

Selling price of 1 pizza slice =  $ 2.50

Number of pizza slice sold per day = 200

Selling price for pizza slices in a day = 200 × $ 2.50

SP ( pizza ) = $ 500

Selling price of 1 sandwich = $ 2

Number of sandwich sold per day = 85

Selling price for pizza slices in a day = 85 × $ 2

SP ( sandwich ) = $ 170

Selling price in 1 day = $ 500 + $ 170 = $ 670

Now, Cost price in 1 day = $ 60

Profit in  1 day = $ 670 - $ 60 = $ 610

Profit in 10 days = 10 × $ 610 = $ 6100

Therefore, the owner's profit for a ten-day period is equal to $ 6100.

What price do farmers get for their watermelon crops? in the third week of july, a random sample of 40 farming regions gave a sample mean of x bar = $6.88 per 100 pounds of watermelon. assume that is known to be $2.00 per 100 pounds.

Answers

We have given a sample size of n=40

Sample mean ¯x=$6.88 per 100 pounds

Population standard deviation= 1.96 per 100 pounds

First, we need to find the value of z α /2 =z (1−0.90/2)

Z (α/2) =z0.05

Z (α/2) =1.645

(a)The required 90% confidence interval is;

¯x ± margin of error

¯x ± z (α/2) * σ/sqrt 40

6.88 ± 1.645 * 1.96/sqrt 40

6.88±0.5097

(6.38,7.38)

Therefore, the lower limit is $6.38 per 100 pounds.

The upper limit is $7.38 per 100 pounds.

The margin of error is 0.50 per 100 pounds.

(b) to have the maximum of E, we use the formula;

n= (z (α/2)×σ/E) ^2

n= (1.645× (1.96/0.41)) ^2

n=61.84≈62

a. 26 or more rides

d. 27 or more rides

Answers

Number of  train rides to make the frequent-rider pass a better deal than standard train tickets is 26 or more rides.

As given,

Cost of standard train ticket = 3 per ride

Price of frequent rider pass= 18.75 each month

Cost of ticket using rider pass = 2.25 per ride

let x be the number of rides

Equation:

18.75 + 2.25x < 3x

Answers

The sum of the three values is 10.25 meters.

Here, we are given three measurements- 7.5m, 2.25m and 50cm

Since, we need to find the answer in meters, let us convert all the units to meters so that we can add them.

7.5 and 2.25 are already in meters so we do not need to covert them.

We only need to convert 50 centimeters.

As per mathematical conversions,

1 meter = 100 centimeters

This means that 50 centimeters will be,

100/2 centimeters = 1/2 meters

⇒ 50 centimeters = 0.5 meters

Now, we add all the given numbers,

= 7.5 + 2.25 + 0.5

= 9.75 + 0.5

= 10.25

Thus, the sum is 10.25 meters.
