Answer:
a. Mean = 155.1 grams
b. Standard deviation = 0.37
c. Fractional uncertainty = 0.074
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Average weight
This is same as the mean weight;
Mathematically, that would be; sum of the weights/ the number of weights
= (155.1 + 154.8 + 155.5 + 155.3 + 154.6)/5 = 775.3/5 = 155.06 which is approximately 155.1
b. Standard deviation
Mathematically; we calculate that using the formula;
√{(x-mean)^2/(N-1)}
Please check attachment for for the complete breakdown of this
c. Fractional uncertainty
= Standard deviation/number of measurements = 0.37/5 = 0.074
