Question
In an acid-base titration, a base or acid is gradually added to the other until they have completely
neutralized each other. Since acids and bases are usually colorless (as are the water and salt
produced in the neutralization reaction), pH is measured to monitor the reaction. Suppose that the
equivalence point is reached after approximately 266 mL of a NaOH solution has been added
(enough to react with all the acetic acid present) but that replicates are equally likely to indicate
from 249 to 287 mL (exclusive), measured to the nearest mL. Assume that two technicians each
conduct titrations independently. What is the probability that the average volume at equivalence
from the technicians is 286 mL or 287?
