Concept explainers
Which of the measurements agree with the result of first student.
Answer to Problem 1OQ
Option (a), (b) and (c).
Explanation of Solution
To check which measurements are agreeing with the student measurement, need to compare each and which is very close to the first measurement.
In this case, the measurements (a) and (b) and the meter stick measurements can be
The measurement (c) and the meter stick measurement can be equal to
Conclusion:
Thus option (a), (b) and is overlap with the student measurement. Therefore, these are in agreement with the student measurement.
Since option (d) is not even close to the student measurement could not agreement with the first measurement. Therefore, option (d) is incorrect.
