You measure the masses of all the cans of soda in a 12-pack individually, then calculate the average mass m = 370 ± 20 g. What is the percent uncertainty?

Soda six-packs Most soda cans list the volume of soda as 12 fluid ounces. As with all process, some variation occurs when filling soda cans. Suppose that a company knows this and tries to over-fill cans a bit, so that the actual volume of soda in a can follows a normal distribution with mean 12.1 fluid ounces and standard deviation .15 fluid ounces. a) What proportion of soda cans filled by this process will contain less than 12 fluid ounces?...
A soda company advertises that the distribution of ounces in all their cans of soda has a mean of µ = 12 ounces and a standard deviation of σ = 0.2 ounces. Suppose you purchase a case of 30 cans of Sweet Relief (their most popular flavor) and calculate that their average fill is 11.9 ounces. You want to know “What’re the chances!?” You want to use the Central Limit Theorem which you recall tells you that the sampling distribution...
A soda bottling plant fills cans labeled to contain 12 ounces of
soda. The filling machine varies and does not fill each can with
exactly 12 ounces. To determine if the filling machine needs
adjustment, each day the quality control manager measures the
amount of soda per can for a random sample of 50 cans. Experience
shows that its filling machines have a known population standard
deviation of 0.35 ounces.
In today's sample of 50 cans of soda, the sample...
An ice chest at a beach party contains 12 cans of soda at 3.18 "C. Each can of soda has a mass of 0.35 kg and a specific heat capacity of 1800 M g C). Someone adds a 8.83 kg watermelon at 26.7 °C to the chest. The specific heat capacity of watermelon is nearly the same as that of water. Ignore the specificheat capacity of the chest and determine the final temperature of the soda and watermelon in degrees...
(12 pts.) The principal investigator (PI) for the laboratory you are doing research in has tasked with you to make 100 mL of an aqueous sodium phosphate (Na3PO4) solution with a formal concentration of 10.00 mM. Proceed through the following steps to quantify the concentration and uncertainty for the solution you produce. Note: for molar masses use the following values (Na = 22.98976928(2), P = 30.973762(2), O = 15.9994(4) g/mol) And propagate uncertainty for molar masses of compounds as standard...
Now measure the distance, x,
for two more masses and enter your measurements in the table below.
Try to estimate to the nearest 0.5 mm. Find the spring constant by
solving mg = kx for k. The spring constant is a property of the
spring so you should get nearly the same result each time.
Part 1: Spring Constant Background: A spring scale works because it obeys Hooke's Law: F=-kx. When you hang a weight, the spring stretches until the...
Constants Part A A mass spectrograph is used to measure the masses of ions, or to separate ions of different masses. In one design for such an instrument, ions with mass m and charge q are accelerated through a potential difference V. They then enter a uniform magnetic field that is perpendicular to their velocity and are deflected in a semicircular path of radius R. A detector measures where the ions complete the semicircle and from this it is easy...
You measure the length of a board with a ruler that is older and has a worn-down end. If you align the end of the board with the end of the ruler, what type of uncertainty does the end of the ruler contribute to the measurement? A) Random B) Systematic The average height of children in kindergarten in Winnipeg is found by measuring the height of one randomly-selected child in every kindergarten class in the city. What type of uncertainty...
Mass numbers (the integers) and isotope masses (with all the decimal places) for each isotope are universal numbers: calcium-40 has the same mass on Pluto as it has here. The average atomic masses one finds on periodic tables, however, is specific to Earth because the natural abundances vary Suppose you are on a planet where the percent abundances of isotopes of calcium are as follows: Isotope lsotope Mass (amu) % Abundance 40Ca 39.962590865 80.09 42Ca 41.95861783 0.46 43Ca 42.95876643 0.09...
ECONOMICS IN PRACTICE Soda Beverage Choice Many countries have started imposing a tax on soda bev erages as a measure to raise revenue as well as to prevent obesity. You may expect that as the taxes reduce soda bever age consumption, the revenue raised would also decrease However, the government tax policy is always effective: this is because either the tax effectively reduces soda beverage consumption or if the consumption doesnt decrease, t government raises huge revenue from the tax....
