Question
Pressure of a container filled with nitrogen gas has been measured 9
times. The result is listed below in kPa:
228.2 224.2 231.2 229.6 228.3 231.1 230.9 227.9 227.6
Calculate the range of precision of the pressure measurement device.
Using an Excel worksheet is encouraged but not necessary. Report
the result in percentage. Do not type the percentage sign. Report the
result to 3 significant figures. Do not enter + or - signs.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values.

According to the sum, the values are-

228.2  224.2  231.2  229.6  228.3  231.1  230.9  227.9  227.6

The highest value is 231.1

The lowest value is 224.2

Range= highest value-lowest value 

=231.1-224.2

=6.9
