Problem

For a planning report requiring city population estimates to the \(\text{nearest}~\text{thousand}~\text{people}\), determine the appropriate precision from \(\text{nearest}~\text{person}\), \(\text{nearest}~\text{thousand}~\text{people}\), or \(\text{nearest}~\text{centimeter}\). State the quantity match and how it meets the report requirement.

Answer choices

Choose your path.

Preview only

selected precision = nearest person; dimension match = people count; requirement match = one-person resolution is not the stated nearest-thousand requirement

selected precision = nearest thousand people; dimension match = people count; requirement match = chosen only because larger units are assumed better

selected precision = nearest centimeter; dimension match = length rather than people count; requirement match = this cannot state a population estimate

selected precision = nearest thousand people; dimension match = people count; requirement match = exactly the report's stated thousand-person resolution
