Radon is a gas emitted from the ground that can collect in houses in buildings. At certain levels it can cause lung cancer. Radon concentrations are measured in picocuries per liter (pCi/L). A radon level of 4 pCi/L is considered “acceptable” Radon levels in a house vary from week to week. In one house, a sample of 6 weeks had the following readings for radon level (in pCi/L):
1.9 2.8 3.9 3.9 4.2 5.7

Refer to Exercise 6. Assume that c = 448 J/kg°C and ΔQ = 1210 J are known with negligible uncertainty. Assume the mass is m = 0.75 ± 0.01 kg. Estimate ΔT, and find the relative uncertainty in the estimate.
