Question

A chemical engineer must report the average volume of a certain pollutant produced by the plants under her supervision. Here are the data she has been given by each plant plant Lincoln volume of pollutant 0.52 L Pinecrest9.777 L 5.643 L Pitt What average volume should the chemical engineer report? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits

Answer 1

Answer:

5.313 L is the average volume of pollutant  reported by chemical engineer:

Explanation:

Volume of pollutant from Lincoln = 0.52 L

Volume of pollutant from Pinecrest = 9.777 L

Volume of pollutant of Pitt = 5.643 L

$Average =\frac{\text{sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}$

Average volume of pollutant  reported by chemical engineer:

$=\frac{0.52L+9.777L+5.643L}{3}=5.313 L$
