Chapter 1, Problem 1OQ

To determine

Which of the measurements agree with the result of first student.

Answer to Problem 1OQ

Option (a), (b) and (c).

Explanation of Solution

To check which measurements are agreeing with the student measurement, need to compare each and which is very close to the first measurement.

In this case, the measurements (a) and (b) and the meter stick measurements can be $4.31\text{cm}$. Thus these are agreeing with students measurements.

The measurement (c) and the meter stick measurement can be equal to $4.24\text{cm}$. Thus, it is also in agreement with the student’s measurement. Whereas the measurement (d) does not have any value just near to the measurement of the student value. Therefore, this measurement would not agree with student measurement.

Conclusion:

Thus option (a), (b) and is overlap with the student measurement. Therefore, these are in agreement with the student measurement.

Since option (d) is not even close to the student measurement could not agreement with the first measurement. Therefore, option (d) is incorrect.
