Question

A target ha the coordinate of (0,1). Nachie and Ihwari are both in a battle to ee who ha the mot accurate launcher. After hooting their bean bag 10 time, aiming for the target, they take the average of where their bag landed. Nachie' launched bean bag on average landed at (0. 05, 0. 08). Ihmari' launched bean bag on average landed at (0. 08, 1). Who' launcher wa more accurate (hint: who' bean bag were cloer to the target center on average)?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which launcher was more accurate, we can compare the average distance of the bean bags from the target center.

We can use the distance formula to calculate the distance between two points:

d = sqrt((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

where d is the distance, (x1, y1) is the first point, and (x2, y2) is the second point.

For Nachie's bean bags, the average distance from the target center is:

d = sqrt((0.05-0)^2 + (0.08-1)^2) = sqrt(0.0025 + 0.0184) = sqrt(0.02)

For Ihwari's bean bags, the average distance from the target center is:

d = sqrt((0.08-0)^2 + (1-1)^2) = sqrt(0.0064 + 0) = sqrt(0.0064) = 0.08

Since Ihwari's bean bags were closer to the target center on average, it can be concluded that Ihwari's launcher is more accurate than Nachie's.
