One label on a package of bolts says that each bolt has a diameter of 0.55 inch. To be in the package, the percent error of the diameter must be less than 6 %. A test on the production line shows a bolt with a diameter of 0.52 inch. Should this bolt go into the package?

    If the bolt is. 52, it is between. 517 and. 583, so it can go in the package.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The first step is to determine what the error amount is

    6% of. 55

    .06*.55 =.033

    The bolt must be within. 033 of. 55

    .55 -.033 =.517

    .55 +.033 =.583

    The bolt must be between. 517 and. 583 inches

    If the bolt is. 52, it is between. 517 and. 583, so it can go in the package.
