Question
The ratio of the angles of a quadrilateral is 3:2:7:8. What
is the sum of the largest and the smallest angle?Solution
ATQ,
Let the angles be 'y', '2y', '7y' and '8y' respectively.
Sum of all the angles in a quadrilateral = 360⁰
So, y + 2y + 7y + 8y = 360
Or, 18y = 360
Or, y = 20
Therefore, required sum = y + 8y = 9y = 9 × 20 = 180⁰
The Newton-Raphson method is an iterative technique primarily used for:
Which type of data can be ordered, but the differences between values are not meaningful (e.g., satisfaction ratings: "Good," "Better," "Best")?
The "standard deviation" is the square root of which other statistical measure?
In numerical computing, what type of error occurs when a continuous function is approximated by a discrete sum or a finite number of terms?
Which numerical method approximates the definite integral of a function by dividing the area under the curve into trapezoids?
What does a p-value less than a significance level (e.g., 0.05) typically indicate in hypothesis testing?
Which statistical measure quantifies the average squared deviation of each data point from the mean?
