Math Problem Statement
Solution
The table you've provided includes information for calculating the average density, standard deviation, 90% confidence limit, and relative error based on three trials. Let's break down the required calculations.
Data from the Table:
-
Trial 1:
- Volume of water: 12.00 mL
- Mass of flask + water: 104.772 g
- Mass of water delivered: 10.719 g
- Density: 0.893 g/mL
-
Trial 2:
- Volume of water: 12.00 mL
- Mass of flask + water: 116.886 g
- Mass of water delivered: 22.833 g
- Density: 1.903 g/mL
-
Trial 3:
- Volume of water: 12.00 mL
- Mass of flask + water: 129.658 g
- Mass of water delivered: 35.605 g
- Density: 2.967 g/mL
1. Average Density (g/mL):
To calculate the average density, sum the densities from each trial and divide by the number of trials.
2. Standard Deviation of Density:
The standard deviation () is calculated using: Where are the individual densities, is the mean, and is the number of trials.
First, calculate the squared differences:
Now sum the squared differences: Finally, divide by and take the square root:
3. 90% Confidence Limit for the Average Density:
To calculate the 90% confidence interval, use: [ \text{Confidence Interval} = \mu \pm t_{\alpha/2}

Formulas
Average Density = (Sum of Densities) / (Number of Trials)
Standard Deviation: σ = sqrt( Σ(xi - μ)^2 / (n - 1) )
Confidence Interval: μ ± tα/2 * (σ / sqrt(n))
Relative Error (%) = |(Measured Value - True Value) / True Value| * 100
