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.
6. The concentration of caffeine in an energy soft drink was determined by standard addition using HPLC. The following procedure was used: a standard caffeine solution was prepared by adding 0.09850g of caffeine to 25.0 cm3 of water.A series of solutions were prepared by adding known volumes of the standard solution to the soft drink before diluting to 100 cm3. The volume of standard and the caffeine peak area are shown in the table: Energy Drink (cm3) Added caffeine Std (cm3) Peak area 15 0 965 15 5 1352 15 10 1739 15 15 2126 15 20 2513 Determine the concentration of caffeine in the soft drink as mg cm-3.

An ore sample was analyzed for its Fe content. Student A analyzed the sample a total of six times and her results had a standard deviation of 1.33. The same sample was analyzed five times by Student B and his results had a standard deviation of 3.42. To determine if their standard deviations are similar, they perform an F test. The calculated F value is and the table value of Fis 3 in your book for critical values of F. O 6.61; 7.39 O 6.61; 9.36 O 0.151; 9.36 O 2.57; 7.39 O 6.61; 6.98 Refer to Table 4-
