Question

The duration of a flash from a camera is timed at 0.004 seconds accurate to 1 / 1000 of a second calculate the upper and lower bounds for the duration of the flash using in quality

​

Answer 1

0.0035 ≤ x ≤ 0.0045

Explanation:

Given that:

The error = 1/1000 = 0.001 / 2 = 0.0005 s

Hence, 0.004 ± Error

0.004 ± 0.0005

Lower boundary = (0.004 - 0.001) = 0.0035

Upper boundary = (0.004 + 0.001) = 0.0045

0.0035 ≤ x ≤ 0.0045
