This question, we're going to look at some density values and help and determine the average density based on some experimental results.
00:12
So in the first set of results, we have values 12 .7, 11 .5, and 10 .9 for the values provided.
00:24
So i wouldn't take an average of those results.
00:27
We're going to add each of those numbers together and divide by the values provided.
00:32
Three to give us the average first of trial one.
00:40
So we find that the average result for the lead density was 11 .7 grams per mil.
00:50
So we wanted to determine the percent error based on the accepted value that they give us as 11 .3 grams per mill.
00:57
So we're going to take that average result and subtract or take the difference between it and the accepted value and divide by the accepted value times 100, and we'll get the percent error then of this set of data.
01:20
So we end up getting 0 .4 divided by 11 .3 times 100.
01:26
Notice we're limited to just one significant figure now in our final answer, and we get 4 % error in that first set of results.
01:35
Now for the second set, we're going to take that 11 .2 plus 11 .4 plus 11 .3.
01:41
Three, divide those by three, and again find first of all the average of trial two.
01:52
So when we take the average here, we get 11 .3 grams per milliliter...
