Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 25SE
Targets: Bias or Lack of Precision?
a. If a rifleman’s gunsight is adjusted incorrectly, he might shoot bullets consistently close to 2 feet left of the bull’s-eye target. Draw a sketch of the target with the bullet holes. Does this show lack of precision or bias?
b. Draw a second sketch of the target if the shots are both unbiased and precise (have little variation).
The rifleman’s aim is not perfect, so your sketches should show more than one bullet hole.

22. Physical Therapy. To rehabilitate her
knee, an athlete does leg extensions. Her goal is
to regain a full 90° range of motion in this
exercise. Use the information in the illustration
to determine her current range of motion in
degrees and the number of degrees of
improvement she still needs to make.
She needs to extend
this much more.
Current range of motion.
This angle is four times larger than the other.
