If the correct answer is 7.52609, which of the following entries would be counted as correct? That is, which entries are withing Webassigns default tolerance?
select all that apply. 7.4
7.3680 7.53 7.458 7.68 7.5938
To determine which entries are within Webassign's default tolerance, compare each entry to the correct answer of 7.52609.
Webassign's default tolerance is usually set at ±0.01 or ±1% of the correct answer. Let's apply this tolerance to each entry:
1. 7.4: To check if it falls within the tolerance, we can calculate the absolute difference:
|7.4 - 7.52609| = 0.12609
Since 0.12609 is greater than both ±0.01 and ±1% of 7.52609, the entry 7.4 is NOT within Webassign's default tolerance.
2. 7.3680: Calculate the absolute difference:
|7.3680 - 7.52609| = 0.15809
Again, 0.15809 is greater than both ±0.01 and ±1% of 7.52609, so the entry 7.3680 is NOT within the tolerance.
3. 7.53: Calculate the absolute difference:
|7.53 - 7.52609| = 0.00391
Here, 0.00391 is smaller than ±0.01 and ±1% of 7.52609, so the entry 7.53 IS within Webassign's default tolerance.
4. 7.458: Calculate the absolute difference:
|7.458 - 7.52609| = 0.06809
Similar to the previous entries, 0.06809 is greater than the tolerance, so the entry 7.458 is NOT within the tolerance.
5. 7.68: Calculate the absolute difference:
|7.68 - 7.52609| = 0.15391
As with the first two entries, 0.15391 is larger than the tolerance, so the entry 7.68 is NOT within the tolerance.
6. 7.5938: Calculate the absolute difference:
|7.5938 - 7.52609| = 0.06771
Like the fourth entry, 0.06771 is greater than the tolerance, so the entry 7.5938 is NOT within Webassign's default tolerance.
Based on these calculations, only the entry 7.53 is within Webassign's default tolerance.
