Suppose you measure a square piece of carpet to have an edge of length of 10.5 in. Assume that your measurement has a 5% error.

Then, for all you know the edge could be as long as 11in or as short as 10 in. In light of this what are the maximum and minimum values for the carpet's area?

What percent error in the carpet's area and how does this relate to the error of its edge?

Is there any relation of the error in the carpet area to that of its edge's error?

CASE STUDY – Jacobson Carpet Company In January 2002, Ms. Mary Lewis was preparing to meet with Mr. Carpenter, President of Jacobson Carpet Company. Ms. Lewis assumed that the meeting was related to the recent Board of directors of the company. As a direct assistant to the President, she knew from experience that this type of meeting often resulted in a project to be studied. Her expectation was confirmed as soon as Mr. Carpenter began to inform her of the...

1.A population of alpacas all have an identical fur length phenotype. During a particularly cold winter, longer fur would be beneficial as it would provide them with greater insulation. Select the correct answer given this information. A. the alpacas will evolve by natural selection as longer hair would be favorable in their environment. B. a mutation for longer fur will likely develop in this population. c. alpacas will longer fur will likely migrate into this population as they have a...

Activity 1: Scientific Reports You may have heard the question “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” A similar question can be asked about experiments. “If a researcher performs an experiment and never publishes the result has science been performed?” Many people would say no because science is the accumulation of knowledge. If the results of an experiment are not published, knowledge is not gained. The final...

THE FIRST SHOCK IS TO THE IS CURVE, THE SECOND SHOCK IS A ‘LM’ SHOCK. AGAIN, WE CONSIDER THESE SHOCKS SEPARATELY SO THAT AFTER YOU COMPLETE SCENARIO 1 (THE IS SHOCK), WE GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL CONDITIONS AND CONSIDER THE SECOND SCENARIO WHICH IS THE ‘LM’ SHOCK.
