Interpretation:
The average value and the standard deviation has to be determined and the number of values that fall within one standard deviation of the average value has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Standard Deviation: A series of measurements is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the deviations for each measurement from the average, divided by one less than the number of measurements.
Answer to Problem 67IL
The average value is
The standard deviation obtained is
Seven of the ten values fall within the region of
Explanation of Solution
The average value and the standard deviation is calculated as,
As shown above, the mean value of the given data and also find the standard deviation value by substituting the obtained values in the equation.
The average value was
The standard deviation obtained was
Seven of the ten values fall within the region of

- Hexane (C6H14, density = 0.766 g/cm3), perfluoro-hexane (C6F14, density = 1.669 g/cm3), and water are immiscible liquids; that is, they do not dissolve in one another. You place 10 mL of each in a graduated cylinder, along with pieces of high-density polyethylene (HDPE, density = 0.97 g/cm3), polyvinyl chloride(PVC, density = 1.36 g/cm3), and Teflon (density = 2.3 g/cm3). None of these common plastics dissolves in these liquids. Describe what you expect to see.arrow_forwardYou have measured the mass of samples A,B,C,D, and E on the analytical balances in our chemistry lab. Determine the standard deviation of these measurements and report your answer with at least 3 significant figures. mass A 103.039 g B 104.404 g C 103.32 g D 104.285 g E 104.123 garrow_forwardIn order to find the density of a solution of unknown density, 10 mL of solution was drawn into a clean and dry beaker three times with a pipette and weighed and the weighing results were found to be 65.1452 g, 64.9982 g, 65.1027 g. Calculate the density of the solution and the standard deviation of the measurements, since the empty weight of the beaker is 52.2461 g.arrow_forward
- over a course of multiple trials a student measures the density of methanol to be 0.707 g/mL, 0.799 g/mL, and 0.780 g/mL. calculate the average density, the deviation of each measurement and standard deviation of all data points.arrow_forwardThe density of an irregular shaped object was measured three times with the following results: 2.15 g/cm3 2.79 g/cm3 1.98 g/cm3 How would you report the mean and standard deviation of this data? a. 2.31 g/cm3 ± 0.07 g/cm3 b. 2.307 g/cm3 ± 0.1 g/cm3 c. 2.4 g/cm3 ± 0.5 g/cm3 d. 2.15 g/cm3 ± 0.03 g/cm3 e. 2.3 g/cm3 ± 0.4 g/cm3arrow_forwardExplain the difference between random error and systematic error.arrow_forward

He noticed that the masses were all different and wondered how much they deviated from the average. Determine the average deviation, in g, of the cylinder masses below.

- In a certain population, body weights are normally distributed with a mean of 152 pounds and a standard deviation of 26 pounds. How many people must be surveyed if we want to estimate the percentage who weigh more than 180 pounds? Assume that we want 96% confidence that the error is no more than 4 percentage points.arrow_forwardThere are three types of error in the laboratory: random error, systematic error, and gross error. Elaborate how can you use standard deviation and percent error in identifying the errors made in the measurement.arrow_forwardA researcher would like to determine whether there is any relationship between students’ grades and where they choose to sit in the classroom. Specifically, the researcher suspects that the better students choose to sit in the front of the room. To test this hypothesis, the researcher asks her colleagues to help identify a sample of n = 100 students who all sit in the front row in at least one class. At the end of the semester, the grades are obtained for these students and the average grade point average is M = 3.25. For the same semester, the average grade point average for the entire college is μ = 2.95 with σ = 1.10. Use a two-tailed test with α = .01 to determine whether students who sit in the front of the classroom have significantly different grade point averages than other students.NOTICE that you are asked to use α = .01!
