Question

The number of people present at an outdoor rock concert was estimated by police to be 40,000. What is the high and low estimate for the number of people present at the concert if it is assumed that this estimate has each of the following uncertainties?

a) 10,000 

low value ? and high value? 

b) 10

low value? and high value?

Expert Solution
Step 1

a)  10,000

If the uncertainty is 10,000, then the low and high value will be as follows:

Low value=40000-10000=30000High value=40000+10000=50000

Thus the range will be 30000-50000
