A pharmaceutical company produces caffeine pills that are each supposed to contain 200 mg of caffeine. A plant that produces thousands of these pills per batch took an SRS of 15 pills from their latest batch to see if they contained the proper amount of caffeine. The sample data had a mean of 200.4 mg of caffeine per pill with a standard deviation of 0.8 mg. The amounts were roughly symmetric with no outliers. Based on this sample, which of the following is a 95% confidence interval for the mean amount of caffeine (in mg) per pill in this batch?

The following volumes were obtained for the calibration of a 10 - mL pipet: 10.028415, 10.140035, 10.091111, and 10.012213 mL. Calculate the mean value, the standard deviation and then report your value.
A calibrated pipet delivers a mean volume of 24.991 mL with a standard uncertainty of ± 0.006 mL. What is the uncertainty if you deliver four aliquots to reach 100 mL?
In a particular trial, a student got a value for R of 0.083. Calculate the percent deviation of this result. Enter a number without the % sign. The percent deviation should be reported as a positive value.
Which is correct? Random errors affect accuracy and systematic errors affect precision. An accurate result shows agreement with the true or accepted value. Precise results can contain significant random error, but little systematic error. The standard deviation is a good measure of accuracy. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stationary phases have low polarities. Which of the following statements is TRUE about gas chromatography using PDMS stationary phases? The gas chromatography column is typically packed with silica microparticles. An oven is used to control the column temperature because a constant temperature is always needed in gas chromatography Octane (C8H18, boiling point: 126 ºC) is eluted later than dodecane (C12H26, boiling point: 216 ºC) 3-Pentanone ((C2H5)2CO, boiling point: 102 ºC) is eluted later than propanol (CH3CH2CH2OH, boiling point: 97 ºC)
