Question

tolerancing: would a machined bracket that measures 25.04mm in height be in spec if the specification is 25.00+/-0.03mm?
yes, it is in spec because it is only 0.01mm off and that is so small it is acceptable.
no, it is out of spec because it is too tall
yes, it is in spec because metric specifications are optional
no, it is out of spec, too short

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the upper and lower limits

The specification is \(25.00\pm0.03\) mm. The lower limit is \(25.00 - 0.03=24.97\) mm. The upper limit is \(25.00 + 0.03 = 25.03\) mm.

Step2: Compare the measured value with the limits

The measured value is \(25.04\) mm. Since \(25.04>25.03\), the machined bracket is out of spec.

Answer:

No, it is out of spec because it is too tall.
