Answer

$0.83253$ $R_{10}=0.005$

Work Step by Step

Given $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\sin ^{2} n}{n^{3}}$$ The first $10$ terms are: \begin{align*} \sum_{n=1}^{10} \frac{\sin ^{2} n}{n^{3}}&=\frac{\sin ^{2} 1}{1}+\frac{\sin ^{2} 2}{8}+\frac{\sin ^{2} 3}{27}+\cdots+\frac{\sin ^{2} 10}{1000}\\ &\approx 0.83253 \end{align*} We estimate the error: $$ \frac{\sin ^{2} n}{n^{3}}\leq\frac{1}{ n^{3 }} $$ Then \begin{align*} R_{10} \leq T_{10} &\leq \int_{10}^{\infty} \frac{1}{x^{3}} d x\\ &=\lim _{t \rightarrow \infty}\frac{-1}{2x^2}\bigg|_{10}^{t}\\ &= \lim _{t \rightarrow \infty}\left(-\frac{1}{2t^2}+\frac{1}{200}\right)\\ &=\frac{1}{200}=0.005 \end{align*}
