Calculate the Hubble constant Ho. (Round your answer in km/s/Mpc to at least the nearest integer.) H₂ = km/s/Mpc Estimate the Hubble time (in yr). years Is your result similar to the value of Ho = 70 km/s/Mpc? (Choose 'Yes' if your result for Ho agrees to within 5% of the accepted value of 70 km/s/Mpc. Otherwise, choose 'No'.) Ⓒ Yes O No
