The minimum and maximum possible measurements.
Answer to Problem 21PPE
The maximum mass of the egg is 1.15 kg and the minimum mass of the egg is 1.05 kg.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
An ostrich egg has a mass of 1.1 kg to the nearest tenth of a kilogram.
Calculation:
As the egg is measured to the nearest tenth of a kilogram, the greatest possible error is half a tenth of a kilogram, i.e.
Minimum possible mass of the egg = Measured mass − Possible Error
Maximum possible mass of the egg = Measured mass + Possible Error
The maximum mass of the egg is 1.15 kg and the minimum mass of the egg is 1.05 kg.
