You repeated a measurement 6 times and recorded the time using a stop watch: 5.8s, 4.6s, 4.8s, 5.1s, 4.3s, 4.6s. What average va

lue should record according to the lab manual for this type of measurement with under 10 items. (Note: remove 2 of 6 outliers, then use the remaining 4 data points; reason standard deviations is within 67% and 67% of 6 data points is 4).

Answer and Explanation

Arranging the measured values in increasing order;

4.3s, 4.6s, 4.6s, 4.8s, 5.1s, 5.8s

The two outliers are obviously 4.3s and 5.8s; An outlier is a value in a statistical sample which does not fit a pattern that describes most other data point. Outliers make the average value complicated. So, it is usually better for data to be precise with data points spreading out around a small area.

So, the mean is the average of the four remaining data points after removing the outliers.

Mean = (4.6 + 4.6 + 4.8 + 5.1)/4

Mean = 4.775s

So, the value recorded should be 4.775s, 4.78s or 4.8s depending on the number of decimal places allowed.

Por una resistencia de 10 Ω fluyen 5A. ¿Cuál será la diferencia de potencial que se le debe aplicar a la resistencia?
ra1l [238]

Answer:

V = 50 volts

Explanation:

Given that,

Resistance, R = 10 ohms

Current, I = 5 A

We need to find the potential difference across the circuit. We know that,

V = IR

Put all the values,

V = 5 × 10

V = 50 volts

Hence, the potential difference is equal to 50 volts.
