Question

Give the boundaries, including units, for the data value below: 0.19 feet

a) [0, 0.19) feet
b) (0, 0.19] feet
c) [0, 0.19] feet
d) (0, 0.19) feet

Answer 1

The correct boundaries for the value 0.19 feet are [0, 0.19] feet, which include both 0 and 0.19 as possible values, making option c the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the boundaries of the data value 0.19 feet. Boundaries indicate the limits within which the value lies. When we notate boundaries, square brackets [ ] indicate that the boundary is included (closed interval), and parentheses ( ) indicate that the boundary is excluded (open interval).

For the value 0.19 feet, the correct boundaries are [0, 0.19] feet, which include the value 0 and the value 0.19. This suggests that the value can be exactly 0 or exactly 0.19, or any number in between. Therefore, the answer is option c.
