Question

bicycles an assembly line supervisor weighs three 25 - pound bicycle frames on a scale. find the approximate error of each weight
a. bicycle a: 25.11 pounds
lb
b. bicycle b: 24.99 pounds
lb
c. bicycle c: 24.36 pounds
lb

Explanation:

Step1: Define Approximate Error

Approximate error is the absolute difference between the measured value and the expected value (25 pounds here). Formula: \( \text{Error} = |\text{Measured Value} - 25| \)

Step2: Calculate for Bicycle A

Measured value = 25.11.
\( \text{Error}_A = |25.11 - 25| = 0.11 \)

Step3: Calculate for Bicycle B

Measured value = 24.99.
\( \text{Error}_B = |24.99 - 25| = 0.01 \)

Step4: Calculate for Bicycle C

Measured value = 24.36.
\( \text{Error}_C = |24.36 - 25| = 0.64 \)

Answer:

• Bicycle A: 0.11 lb
• Bicycle B: 0.01 lb
• Bicycle C: 0.64 lb
