Students are measuring the time it takes for a ball to drop from 1 meter above
the floor. They're using a meter stick, a rubber ball, and a stopwatch. Students
are put into groups and take multiple trials. Below is the data from Group 1.
Trial
Time (s)
1
0.55
2
0.42
3
0.41
4
0.46
5
0.44
6
0.41
Based on this data set, and using the Mean and Mean Absolute Deviation to
determine the error, how much time does it take the ball to drop?
0.45 +/-0.005 s
0.45 s
0.44833 +/- 0.0378 s
0.45 +/- 0.038 s
0.448 +/- 0.0333 s
None of the answers is correct
