Students were asked to measure a string as part of a physics experiment. the actual length of the string was 7.35 cm long. which of the following groups of data show measurements from the most accurate group and why?
7.35 cm, 7.82 cm, 7.12 cm, because one of the measurements is closest to the actual length.
6.95 cm, 6.93 cm, 6.97 cm, because these have the most agreement between the measurements.
7.32 cm, 7.37 cm, 7.39 cm, because this group’s measurements are closest to the actual length. - my answer
7.90 cm, 7.91 cm, 7.89 cm, because these have the most agreement between the measurements.

Our star pitcher, foster enlight, can throw a pitch so fast that it gets to the catcher’s mitt before it leaves foster’s fingers! if the team wins a game then the probability that foster was pitching is 0.8 but only if foster had at least one day’s rest since his last pitching assignment. if foster does not have a day off and the team still wins, the probability that foster was pitching drops by half of what it was on the previous day. if the team wins three games in succession from the toronto tachyons and foster pitched in game #2, what is the probability that he pitched in one or more of the other games? (assume that foster did not pitch on the day before the first game of this three game series.)
