1. Calculate the fundamental statistical parameters (all measures of central tendency and variability/dispersion) for the following set of data obtained by a chemistry student attempting to determine the molarity of some solution by titrations: 0.2041; 0.2049; 0.2039; 0.2043. Is any of the data suspect? How did you determine your response?" Mean, median, range (spread), average deviation, relative average deviation, standard deviation, coefficient of variation. Try to calculate the confidence interval and report the statistically probable mean value at the 95% confidence level.

The standard addition method is used to analyze a sample of a river water for mercury. Solution A is made by pipetting 5.00 mL of undiluted sample in to a 10 mL volumetric flask and filling to the mark with DI water. Solution B is made by pipetting 5.00 mL of undiluted sample and 3.00 mL of 15.0 ppb of Hg standard into same 10.0 mL volumetric flask and filling to the mark with DI.

Consider the titration illustrated in Figure 8.] Anhydrous sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) is a primary standard. When 0.364 grams of the substance is placed in a conical flask, then 20.00 cm³ of sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄) solution is required to reach the end point of the titration. What is the concentration in mol·dm⁻³ of the sulphuric acid solution? [Give the answer to 3 decimal places. Do not type in the unit. Use a decimal point.] *
