Answer:

  • No, different

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Last year</h3>

Bought 40 sets

Sold 25 sets

  • Error = 25 - 40 = -15
  • Absolute error = | - 15| = 15
  • Percent error =  15/40*100% = 37.5%
<h3>This year</h3>

Bought 75 sets

Sold 60 sets

  • Error = 60 - 75 = -15
  • Absolute error = |-15| = 15
  • Percent error = 15/75*100% = 20%

We can see absolute errors are same but percent errors are different.

The reason is the referenced numbers are different.

Doris ran 2.5 kilometers, then sprinted 300 meters and finally walked 1 4 of the distance she sprinted. How many meters did she
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

She traveled a total of 2875 metres during practice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Doris ran 2.5 kilometres, then sprinted 300 meters and finally walked 1/4 of the distance she sprinted.

To find the total distance that she traveled, we simply add the distance that she ran, sprinted and walked.

We will convert all distances to metres.

She ran 2.5 kilometres:

1 km = 1000 m

2.5 km = 2.5 * 1000 = 2500 m

So, she ran 2500 m.

She sprinted 300 m.

Se walked 1/4 the distance that she sprinted:

1/4 * 300 = 75 m

She walked 75 m.

Therefore, the total distance she traveled is:

2500 + 300 + 75 = 2875 m

She traveled a total of 2875 metres during practice.

GalinKa [24]
First of all, this is not an observational study, but an experiment, since we have two groups and one of the two groups is manipulated or treated. In an observational study the subjects are only observed.
 
Second, the students did not choose their groups - so we can't choose the last answer.

Therefore the correct answer is:
This is an experiment because a treatment was applied to a group.

The graph below represents a polynomial.
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial on the graph has zeros or x-intercepts at x = -3, 0, 2, 4. These come from the factors x (x+3)(x-2)(x-4). Notice at 4 it doesn't cross but just touches. This means it has a degree of 2. So the factors are x(x+3)(x-2)(x-4)^2. This matches to C.
