Part B : The tides are measured at a fourth location D. The mean of the low tide values at Locations A, B , C , and D is -0.54. What is the value of the low tide at Location D ? Show your work or explain

Answer 1

A - Difference in tides for location C is 6.9 feet and high tide for location A is 8.2 feet.

B - Value of low tide in location D is -0.64 feet.

Explanation:

Part A: We are given,

The table showing the difference between high and low tides.

The difference in tides for location C = 7.34 - 0.44 = 6.9

So, the difference in tides for location C is 6.9 feet.

Also,
`x+(-1.08)=7.12` i.e.
`x-1.08=7.12` i.e.
`x=7.12+1.08` i.e. x = 8.2

So, the high tide for location A is 8.2 feet.

Part 2: We are given, the mean of the low tides for the 4 locations is -0.54

Let, 'x' feet be the value of the low ride in location D.

That is,
`-0.54=(-1.08-0.88+0.44+x)/(4)`

That is,
`-0.54=(-1.52+x)/(4)`

That is,
`-0.54* 4=-1.52+x`

That is,
`-2.16=-1.52+x`

That is,
`x=-1.52+2.16`

That is, x = -0.64 feet

Hence, the value of low tide in location D is -0.64 feet.
