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.

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!

- A scientist conducted an experiment of magnesium nitride, Mg3N2 reacts with excess water to produce ammonia, NH3 and magnesium oxide, MgO. a) If 3.80 g of Mg3N2 were measured, calculate how many of MgO supposed to be produced. b) If the actual yield of MgO produced is 3.87 g, what is the absolute error and the relative error of the experiment?arrow_forwardA given analytical test was performed five times. The results of the analysis are represented by the following values: 6.738, 6.738, 6.737, 6.739, and 6.738%. Would you say that these results are precise? Can you say that they are accurate? Explain both answers.arrow_forwardYou determine the acetic acid (HOAc) content of vinegar by titrating with a sodium hydroxide standard solution to a phenolphthalein (an indicator) end point. An approximately 5-mL sample of vinegar is weighed on an analytical balance in a weighing boat and this is found to be 5.0268 g. The standard deviation in making a single weighing is 0.2 mg. The sodium hydroxide must be accurately standardised (this means its concentration must be accurately determined) by titrating known mass of high-purity potassium hydrogen phthalate, and three such titrations give molar concentrations of 0.1167, 0.1163 and 0.1164 mol L-1. A volume of 36.78 mL of sodium hydroxide is used to titrate each sample. The standard deviation of the burette used is 0.02 mL.
