Chapter 0, Problem 24P
The data in Table 0.5 are expected to obey the relationship y = kxn. where k is a positive constant and n is a positive integer. Make several plots of the y values from the table as a function of xn. where x represents the corresponding x values and n is an integer of your choosing. Find the value of n that produces a linearized plot. From your linearized plot, determine the value of k.
Table 0.5
| x value | y value |
| 0.40 | 0.125 |
| 0.80 | 0.512 |
| 1.2 | 1.73 |
| 1.4 | 2.75 |
| 1.8 | 5.83 |

"You are out for an early morning walk. You walk 5.0 m, South
and 12.0 m, East. Then, you decided to walk further and go 4.0
m, Southwest and 6.0 m West. How far are you now from your
starting point and in what direction?
Tip:
1. Solve for "x1 to x4" and "y1 to y4" using trigonometric function
2. Find the total "x" and total "y".
3. Solve for resultant and angle
An equation predicts the relation between x and y as

Find the slope k of the best fitted line of a plot between T2 and L from the following data. All numbers have no units. Answer to two decimal places. Note that the
fitted line should pass through the origin,.
Problem 4: Significant Figures
A block of gold has length 5.62 cm, width 6.35 cm, and height 2.78 cm.
a. Calculate the base area and round up the answer to the appropriate number of significant
figures.
b. Now multiply the rounded result of part (a) by the height and again round, obtaining the
volume. Let this be ?1.
c. Now obtain volume 2, ?2, by first finding the width times the height, rounding up to
appropriate significant figures, and multiply by the length.
d. Explain why the answers don’t agree with the third significant figure.

- Question 6 5 p A standardized exam is known to be normally distributed with a mean score of 82 and a standard deviation of 6.58 in the examination. (Hint: so this means you can convert individual exam scores to z-scores and calculate percentile rank). One student named Amy has an exam score of 78. For Amy's score, compute the corresponding z score. Make sure to round the z-score to the nearest hundredth place (Hint if the z-score is 0.3615, then you round it to 0.36).arrow_forwardIt is important to be able to rearrange equations to solve for the variable you desire.
