Answer

a. $166000\ \Omega $. b. $996000\ \Omega.$ c. $664000\ \Omega.$ d. $ 332000\ \Omega$.

Work Step by Step

a. The black fourth band indicates a tolerance of $\pm 20\%$. $$20\% \times 830,000\Omega = (0.20)(830,000\Omega) =166000\ \Omega .$$ That is, the tolerance is $166000\ \Omega $. b. The upper limit is $$830,000\ \Omega + 166,000 \ \Omega=996000\ \Omega.$$ c. The lower limit is $$830,000\ \Omega + 166,000 \ \Omega=664000\ \Omega.$$ d. The tolerance interval is then $$ 996000 \ \Omega-664000\ \Omega= 332000\ \Omega .$$
