Pluto has been hard to measure from Earth because of its atmosphere. In 2007 Young, Young, and Buie measured Pluto as having a diameter of 2322 km. In 2017 new measurements were taken and Pluto is now believed to be 2376.6 km in diameter. Since the older measurement is now considered incorrect, what was the percent error of the 2007 measurement? [enter your answer as a percentage without the % sign] Round to two decimals.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The percent error of the 2007 measurement is 2.30

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the percent error of the 2007 measurement,

Percent error is given by

Percent error = [tex]\frac{|True value - Observed value| }{True value} \times 100%[/tex]%

Observed measurement in 2007 = 2322 km

True value (observed in 2017) = 2376.6 km

∴ Percent error = [tex]\frac{|2376.6 - 2322| }{2376.6} \times 100%[/tex]%

Percent error = [tex]\frac{54.6 }{2376.6} \times 100%[/tex]%

Percent error = 0.022974 × 100%

Percent error = 2.2974%

Percent error ≅ 2.30%

Since the answer is required to be entered without the % sign, then

Percent error = 2.30

Hence, the percent error of the 2007 measurement is 2.30.

2. During typhoon Ambo, PAGASA tracks the amount of accumulating rainfall. For the first three hours of typhoon, the rain fell at a constant rate of 25mm per hour The typhoon slows down for an hour and started again at a constant rate of 20 mm per hour for the next two hours. Write a piecewise function that models the amount of rainfall as function of time.​

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following information:

First three hours of typhoon: rate of Rainfall. = 25mm per hour

Typhoon slows down for an hour : then Rainfall began again at a constant rate of 20 mm per hour for the next 2 hours

Piecewise function which models Rainfall ad a function of time

Amount of Rainfall as a function of time = f(t)

f(t) = 25t ; if t≤ 3

When typhoon slowed down for an hour :

f(t) = 0;

f(t) = 25*3 ; for t ∈ (3, 4)

Then Rainfall at a constant rate of 20mm for another 2 hours

f(t) = (25 *3) + 20(t - 4) ; for t ∈ (5, 6)

Train A is traveling at 70 mph to a destination 200 miles away. Train B will leave 20 minutes after train A. Train B will leave from Train A's destination and will head in Train A's direction. If Train B will be going at a speed 32 of Train A's, how long after Train A left will it take before Train B arrives at Train A's starting point? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of an hour

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "2.2 h"

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of Train B:

[tex]= \frac{3}{2} \times 70 \ mph \\\\= 105 \ mph[/tex]

Train B is then moving on:

[tex]= \frac{200 \ miles}{ 105 \ mph} \\\\= 1.905 \ h\\[/tex]

Then it takes Train A to the left:

[tex]\to 1.905\ h + 20 \ min \\\\= 1.905 \ h +0.333 \ h \\\\= 2.238 \ h[/tex]

To get train B to the reference point of train A = 2.2 h

Jefferson Middle School needs to see a 300% gain in PTO fundraiser
sales from last year. If they sold a total of $2,420 last year, how much do
they need to sell this year to meet their goal? *

Answers

Given parameters:

Percentage gain = 300%

Selling cost last year = $2420

Unknown:

Selling cost this year  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

     Profit percent  = [tex]\frac{Selling cost this year - Selling cost last year}{Selling cost last year} x 100[/tex]

      300 = [tex]\frac{S - 2420}{2420} x 100[/tex]

      3 = [tex]\frac{S - 2420}{2420}[/tex]

         S- 2420 = 7260

          S = $9680

To make a 300% gain, Jefferson Middle school needs a $9680 from fundraiser sales this year.

Answers

Answer:

y = -x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use equation: y = mx + b, where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y intercept. You are given a slope of -1 for the m. This is usually expressed as just a "-", as the 1 is inferred.

Since you are given a point, plug the x and y values in to the equation.

-7 = -(5) + b

Solve for b:

-7 = -5 + b

-2 = b

Knowing "m" and "b", plug these in to get your final equation

SOLUTION:

Rate of change for the function is given as [tex] \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} [/tex].

Let,

[tex] (-3, 3.6) = (x_1, y_1) [/tex]

[tex] (5, 2) = (x_2, y_2) [/tex]

Rate of change = [tex] \frac{2 - 3.6}{5 - (-3)} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{-1.6}{8} [/tex]

[tex] = -0.2 [/tex]

The rate of change of y with respect to x for this function is -0.2

Given :

The graph of a linear function is shown on the grid

To find the rate of change of y with respect to x , we need to pick two points from the graph

Two points are (-3,3.6)  and (5,2)

(b) Construct a box plot of the data.

Answers

Answer:

(a) The sample mean and sample standard deviation are 2.415 and 0.5342 respectively.

(b) Shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data set provided is:

S = {1.75, 1.92, 2.62, 2.35, 3.09, 3.15, 2.53, and 1.91}

(a)

Compute the sample mean and sample standard deviation as follows:

[tex]\bar x=\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i}{x_{i}} =\frac{1}{8}\times 19.32=2.415\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{n-1}\sum\limits_{i}{(x_{i}-\bar x^{2})^{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{8-1}\times 1.9976}=0.5342[/tex]

Thus, the sample mean and sample standard deviation are 2.415 and 0.5342 respectively.
