Answer:

Answer:

0.00998 Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Thickness of the light bulb filament = 0.01 Inch

Allowable error = 2%.

2% of 0.01 = 0.02 X 0.01 =0.0002 Inch

Therefore, the allowable thickness of the bulb filament

We can then calculate the least allowable thickness of the filament as:

The least allowable thickness of the filament is 0.00998 Inches.

Answer:

C. 0.0098

Explanation:

one-hundredth of an inch: 1/100 ≈ 0.01 (inch)

Upper-bound (maximum error):

= 0.01 × (100% + 2%)

= 0.01 × 102%

= 0.0102 inches

Lower-bound (minimum error):

= 0.01 × (100% - 2%)

= 0.01 × 98%

= 0.0098 inches

Hence, the greatest allowable thickness of filament is 0.0102 inches and mostly the least allowable thickness is 0.0098 inches, which is the answer.
