If a student used 1.34 g of silver to produce silver nitrate and the actual yield was 2.01 g how do you calculate the percentage yield show the steps?
61.47%
If you measure density several times would you expect the average of your density measurements to be closer to the actual density than a single measurement?
I would say yes, if your equipment and techniques are giving you truly unbiased estimates of the density.
What is the difference between absolute and specific humidity?
Relative humidity is a ratio of the actual water vapor content of the air to the amount of water vapor needed to reach saturation. Absolute humidity is the mass of water vapor contained in a given volume of air.
What winds are of f6?
The estimated wind speed for an F6 tornado is 318-379 mph. However this category is only theoretical. The scale as it is used only goes up to F5 as actual ratings are based on damage rather than wind speed. F5 damage is complete destruction.
What is the maximum wind speed for an F5 tornado?
As the original Fujita scale estimated, the maximum wind speed for an F5 tornado was 318 mph. However, it would be impossible for a tornado to be rated higher than F5 as actual ratings are based on damage and F5 damage leaves no room of a higher category. On the newer Enhanced Fujita scale the highest category, EF5, has no upper bound for wind speeds.
The actual cost of an item is 98.50 one student estimated the cost to be 96.60 and the othe student estimated it to be 100.50 whose estimate is closer to the actual cost?
To find the better estimate, first find the distance between each estimate and the true cost. 98.50-96.60 = 1.90 100.50-98.50 = 2.00 The lower estimate, 96.60, is closest.

A student measured the mass of an object and found it to be 658 grams. The actual objects mass is known to be 755 grams what is the percent error of the measurement?
It is approx 12.8%.
What is the difference between actual measurement and estimate?
An actual measurement is going to be more accurate than an estimate.
The name for the ratio of diagram measurement to actual measurementis the what?
The name for the ratio of a diagram measurement to actual measurements is the scale.
How close a measurement is to the actual value?
This is termed the accuracy of the measurement.
The ability to make a measurement that is as close to an actual value is called a...?
The closeness to the actual value is called the accuracy. The reproducibility of the measurement is call the precision.
What is performance standard?
measurement of actual performance
When using a protractor a student measure the sum of the interior angles in a triangle and obtain 176 degrees what is the percent error of this measurement?
3 The student can measure the given angles to within 2 degrees of the actual measurement and identify each angle, with 95% accuracy 2 The student is able to measure the given angles to within 10 degrees, and is able to identify the angles with 95% accuracy 1 Student is unable to correctly measure the given angles and/or identify the angles correctly

What is the actual sum and the estimated sum of 3874 1845?
3874 + 1845 = 5719 is the actual sum. I'm not sure where the 'estimated sum' comes into it.
