Answer: 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the  zookeeper ,

The predicted weight of the newborn lion = 2.8 pounds

The actual weight of the newborn lion = 3.5 pounds

Now , the zookeepers's percent error = \dfrac{|Predicted-actual|}{actual}\times100

=\dfrac{|2.8-3.5|}{3.5}\times100\%\\\\=\dfrac{|-0.7|}{3.5}\times100\%\\\\=\dfrac{0.7}{3.5}\times100\%\\\\=\dfrac{100}{5}\%=20\%

Hence, the zookeepers's percent error = 20%.

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.

Describe a real life multiplication situation for which an estimate makes sense
Drupady [299]
If you are trying to create a garden of potted plants, you would find out how much soil each pot needs/holds and multiply that by how many pots you plan to use. then you would go to the store for potting soil, which let’s say came in smaller packs and you need to purchase multiple. use multiplication estimation to estimate how many bags you’d need.
I know this is a dumb example...sorry this is one I remember from my fourth grade math teacher ahah

5.44 Teaching descriptive statistics: A study compared five different methods for teaching descriptive statistics. The five meth
maria [59]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is that all the different teaching methods have the same average test scores.

H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4 = μ5

The alternative hypothesis is that at least one of the teaching methods have a different mean.

Ha: at least one mean is different. (μ1 ≠ μi)

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis (H0) tries to show that no significant variation exists between variables or that a single variable is no different than its mean. While an alternative Hypothesis (Ha) attempt to prove that a new theory is true rather than the old one. That a variable is significantly different from the mean.

For the case above, let μ represent the average test scores for the teaching methods:

The null hypothesis is that all the different teaching methods have the same average test scores.

H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4 = μ5

The alternative hypothesis is that at least one of the teaching methods have a different mean.

Ha: at least one mean is different. (μ1 ≠ μi)
