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
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
p = 2(10'5" + 9'8")
p = 2(19'13")
p = 38'26"
26" = 2'4"
So...
38' + 2'4" = 40' 4" for the perim,eter
Area of a rectangle: A = 24 a² b
Length: L = 8 a b²
Width: W = A / L = 24 a² b / 8 a b²
Answer: W = 3 a / b
