A random sample of five Galaxy 8 smartphones is selected from the production line after final assembly, and the result of the we
ight control measurement is (in grams) 155.1, 154.8, 155.5, 155.3, and 154.6.What are the average weight, its uncertainty (i.e. the standard deviation of the mean), and the fractional uncertainty
1 answer:
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

I will have "x" represent the unknown number, or you could use a "?", doesn't matter.
[8 is less than or equal to (≤) the quotient (÷) of a number and -4, so the number is being divided by -4]
If you need to solve this, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the inequality:
Multiply -4 on both sides to get rid of the fraction and get "x" by itself
When you multiply/divide by a negative number, you flip the sign (< >)
-32 ≥ x [-32 is greater than or equal to x, or x is less than or equal to -32]
