The accepted values for the sets of data in Problem 1-2 are: *set A, 9.0; set B, 55.33; *set C, 0.630; set D, 5.4; *set E, 20.58; set F, 0.965. For the mean of each set, calculate

(a) the absolute error and

(b) the relative error in parts per thousand.

Problem 1

From the normal curve of error, find the probability that a result is outside the limits of ±2σ from the mean. What is the probability that a result has a more negative deviation from the mean than −2σ?

Problem 2

Consider the following sets of replicate measurements:

*A

B

*C

For each set, calculate the

(a) mean;

(b) median;

(c) spread, or range;

(d) standard deviation; and

(e) coefficient of variation.
