Question

Connor and Angie helped take attendance during their schools practice fire drill if the actual count was between 77 and 89 inclusive what is the most absolute error could be

Answer 1

The most absolute error is 12

Explanation:

The formula for absolute error is given by the following relation;

Absolute error, Δx = Value measured, x₀ - Exact (actual) value, x

Δx = x₀ - x

Since the actual count is between 77 and 89, the maximum absolute error will be where the actual value = 77 and the measured value = 89 and vice versa, giving an absolute error of 89 -77 = 12.

The most absolute error = 12.
