Two students measured the density of water three times each. Their results are shown below. Trial Student 1 Student 2 1 0.953 g/mL 1.102 g/mL 2 0.949 g/mL 1.005 g/mL 3 0.956 g/mL 0.901 g/mL9. Calculate the standard deviation in the measurements for student 1 and then do the same for student 2. Show your work
A powder was prepared containing 3.00% NaCN and 97.00% NaCl. A sample obtained from that mixture containing 7.374×10^5 particles weighs 10.0 g. Determine the number and percent relative standard deviation of NaCN particles from a sample of the mixture weighing 6.30 g. I need nNaCN particles and %RSD
The following densities of water were obtained by Student A: 1.07 g/mL, 1.14 g/mL, and 1.13 g/mL. Show how Student A determined the density of water to be 1.11 ± 0.04 g/mL. Calculation for the average = 1.11 g/mL: Calculation for the standard deviation = 0.04 g/mL:
I am supposed to calculate Average absolute deviation (%). I am not sure if 7.16 is the final answer, or do i need to multiply by 100 because they are asking for percent?
Student A got the following densities of water; 1.09g/mL, 1.14g/mL, and 1.15g/mL with an average of 1.127 g/mL and a standard deviation of 0.026 g/mL. Student B determined the density of water to be 1.04 ± 0.05 g/mL. Determine the acceptable range of mass when you are asked to obtain 3.000g of NaCl.
A student determines the concentration of an unknown sample using two different methods. Each method has three different trials; the average, standard deviation and percent error produced by each method is listed below. Method 1 Average: 10.56 M NaOH Standard deviation: 1.35 M NaOH Percent error: 1.25% Method 2 Average: 10.92 M NaOH Standard deviation: 1.02 M NaOH Percent error: 3.45% Which method was more precise? How can you tell?

Hydrocarbons in the cab of an automobile were measured during trips on the New Jersey Turnpike and trips through the Lincoln Tunnel connecting New York and New Jersey. The total concentrations ( ± standard deviation) of m- and p-xylene wereTurnpike: 31.4 ± 27.0 μg/m3 (32 measurements)Tunnel: 54.9 ± 29.8 μg/m3 (32 measurements)Do these results different at the 95% confidence level?
A quantitative analysis for an analyte gives a mean concentration of 12.6 ppm. The standard deviation due to the method, sm, is found to be 1.1 ppm, and that due to sampling, ss, is 2.1 ppm. By how much does the overall variance change if sm is improved by 10% and ss is improved by 15%?
