d)Calculate the standard deviation in temperature readings. Enter your answer with the correct significant figures.
The temperature of a bucket of water are given as:
| Temperatures in °F: | 72.4 | 73.1 | 72.6 | 72.8 | 73.0 |
|---|
a)
The mean temperature of the bucket can be found by dividing the sum of all the given temperatures by the number of temperature readings
=72.78 is the mean of the temperatures
b)
range in the readings of the temperature of the bucket is the difference between maximum temperature and minimum temperature:
Trange = 73.1°F -72.4°F
= 0.70°F
