You are checking the intermediate results of a phone app that calculates the weight of an object in kilograms given the weight i

n pounds. The particular calculation you are checking, shown below, is for an input weight of 142 pounds and outputs 29.3 kilograms. What is the first step that has an error, and why is it an error?

The wrong step is step 4, because you only need one conversion.

The formula to convers pounds to kilograms is

\text{weight in pounds} = 2.2 \times \text{weight in kilograms}

Obviously, the inverse formula is

\text{weight in kilograms} = \cfrac{\text{weight in pounds}}{2.2}

So, you're given an input of 142 pounds. To convert it in kilograms, plug that value into out formula:

\text{weight in kilograms} = \cfrac{142}{2.2} \approx 64.5

and this is the answer you're looking for, so you need no more steps.

Cynthia rounds a number, x,to one decimal place. the result is 6.3.
gladu [14]

The answer is: 6.25\leq6.3

The explanation is shown below:

1. Cynthia rounds the number, which is identified as x, to one decimal place and the result is 6.3.

2. Based on this, we know that x could have been between 6.25 and 6.35. Therefore, the error interval for x is given by:

 6.25\leq6.3

Where \leq indicates that the value 6.25 is included and indicates that the value 6.35 is not included (Because if x had been exactly 6.35, Cynthia would round up to 6.4).

Find two complex numbers that have a sum of i10 a different of -4and a product of -29​
lianna [129]
<h2>-2+5i and 2+5i</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

   Let the complex numbers be a+ib\textrm{ and }c+id.

Given, sum is 10i, difference is -4 and product is -29.

(a+c)+i(b+d)=10i ⇒ a+c=0,b+d=10

(a-c)+i(b-d)=-4 ⇒ a-c=-4,b-d=0

a=-2,c=2,b=5,d=5

(a+ib)(c+id)=(-2+5i)(2+5i)=-4-25=-29

Hence, all three equations are consistent yielding the complex numbers -2+5i\textrm{ and }2+5i.

3. Standard deviation is ________. a mean of squared differences the square root of the variance unit-free the covariance 4. Sta
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

3. Standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

4. Standard deviation is useful because it has the same units as the underlying data.

Step-by-step explanation:

3. In statistics, the dispersion in a given data with respect to its mean distribution can be determined or measured by standard deviation and variance. The standard deviation of a distribution can also be determined as the square root of variance.

4. Standard deviation is measured in the same units as that of the original data. Thus it has the same units as the underlying data.

The results of a race car are shown. Determine who drove the fastest. Explain.
monitta

We have to calculate speed for 1 lap for all of 'em.

Cutwright - 84/35 = 2.4 mins for 1 lap

Evans- 96.6/42 = 2.3 mins for 1 lap

Liza- 102.6/38 = 2.7 mins for 1 lap

 So, EVANS drove fastest among them as he took less time...

Compare the values of the 2s and 5s in 55,220
bagirrra123 [75]
The five digit number, 55,220 contains to 5's and two 2's.  The 5's are in the ten thousand and one thousand columns. This means that one five represents 50,000 and the second represents 5, 000.  The two's are in the hundreds and tens columns meaning one 2 represents 200 and the other 2 represents 20. In a direct comparison of these numbers the 5's equal 55,000 and the 2's equal 220.
