Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The average value of deviation for each set of given data; the set that is more précised.

Answer to Problem 1DE

Solution: The average value of deviation for set 1 and set 2 are 0.02 and 0.02 respectively. The set 1 is more precise.

Explanation of Solution

Given The true average value is 22.52%

The values in set 1: 22.52,22.48,22.54

The values in set 2: 22.64,22.58,22.62

The average deviation can be determined by addition of the differences of all numbers and average of all numbers; and further dividing the outcome by the number of items present in that list.

The average deviation of set 1 is calculated as,

  (22.5222.51)+(22.4822.51)+(22.5422.51)3=|+0.01|+|0.03|+|+0.03|3=0.02

The average deviation of set 2 is calculated as,

  (22.6422.61)+(22.5822.61)+(22.6222.61)3=|+0.03|+|0.03|+|+0.01|3=0.02

Both the sets set 1 and set 2 have the same precision value. But set 1 is said to be more precise as its value is more accurate than that of set 2 .

Conclusion

Precision is the comparison of closeness of two or more measurements with each other. The set 1 is more accurate. Hence, it is more precise.

Two students determine the percentage of lead in a sampleas a laboratory exercise. The true percentage is 22.52%. Thestudents’ results for three determinations are as follows:(1) 22.52, 22.48, 22.54(2) 22.64, 22.58, 22.62(a) Calculate the average percentage for each set of data andstate which set is the more accurate based on the average.(b) Precision can be judged by examining the average of thedeviations from the average value for that data set. (Calculatethe average value for each data set; then calculate the averagevalue of the absolute deviations of each measurementfrom the average.) Which set is more precise?
