A group of five students attempted to estimate 100 g of a substance by balancingthe amount of the substance with a 100-g standard mass and obtained the followingmasses after each estimated amount was weighed: 95.8634 g, 80.8125 g, 106.5078g, 98.2865 g, and 86.4453 g. Create a data table as shown below and use the datato determine the answers to the following questions:Mass (g) Deviation (g) % Deviation Error (g) % Errora) What is the mean? And what is the true value?b) What are the deviation and % deviation from the mean for each value?c) What are the error and % error for each value?
