Question
  1. In the article “X-Ray Computed Tomography and  Nondestructive Evaluation of Clogging in Porous  Concrete Field Samples” (J. of Materials in Civil  Engr., 2012: 1103–1109), investigators determined the  clogging percentage in porous concrete samples cored  from parking lots. Porosity profiles using computed  tomography scanned images were used in this study.  The following represent the average porosity (%) using  a gravimetric method for nine concrete cores:  

8.10

20.50

26.54

19.68 

14.87  

14.36 

9.19 

23.55

22.27

Calculate and interpret the values of the sample  mean and sample standard deviation for this data.
