Explain why the mean and standard deviation are not appropriate for particle size distributions

Physics
1 answer:
Eduardwww [97]3 years ago
8 0
The mean is the average of the sample data, while standard deviation is the average of the differences of each data to the mean. This could only be valid if there is a normal distribution. This distribution pertains to a bell-shaped frequency graph. However, in particle size distribution, the frequency of the sizes is rarely concentrated on the medium or middle size. It may be skewed to the left or skewed to the right. So, the mean and standard deviation is not a good measure for this type of distribution.

Two resistors with a resistance of 10 ohms each are connected in parallel. what is the resistance of the combination?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
From the ohms law resistance is given by dividing the amount of current by the potential difference (voltage). In a circuit resistors may be arranged in series or parallel which determines the total effective resistance of the circuit depending on the arrangement used.
When resistance are in parallel we apply the formula 1/Rt=1/R1 +1/R2 where Rt is the total resistance, R1 resistance of the first resistor and R2 the resistance of the second resistor.
therefore, 1/Rt = 1/10 +1/10 =2/20 which when simplified is 1/10, therefore 1/Rt is 1/10, to get Rt we do the reciprocal to get 10 ohms.
Therefore the effective resistance of the combined resistors in parallel is 10 ohms

How is amplitude related to volume?
77julia77 [94]
Finally, the amount of increased volume<span> that is achieved by an increase in </span>amplitude<span>is also affected by the frequency. So, turning the </span>amplitude<span> level in the mid-range sound from the previous example will not have the same proportional effect on loudness as the bass sound.</span>
