A student determines that 4 clinks weighs 15.45 g and 7 clacks weighs 14.11 g.
What is the relative mass of clinks and clacks?
A garage manager must determine the number of
metal ball bearings (BBs) in a stock container by mass
measurements. He counts out 5 BBs and finds their
total mass to be 1.9 g. He also finds the total mass
of the stock container and the BBs to be 239.3 g and
the mass of an identical, empty stock container to
be 115.8 g. The store manager then uses his data to
calculate the number of BBs in the stock container:
Average mass of one BB = 1.9/5 = 0.4 g
Mass of BBs in container = 239.3 g - 115.8 g = 123.50 g
Number of BBs in container = 123.50/0.4 g= 300 BBs
(a) Evaluate the manager’s calculations with regard to
significant digits. If necessary, rewrite any steps,
recalculating with the adjusted quantities. For
any step that you have to rewrite, explain why the
manager’s calculation is in error.
(b) Should the manager regard the answer to the
calculation in (a) as a perfect measure of the
number of ball bearings in the container?
(c) How could the manager have changed his
procedure to…

- A researcher would like to determine whether there is any relationship between students’ grades and where they choose to sit in the classroom. Specifically, the researcher suspects that the better students choose to sit in the front of the room. To test this hypothesis, the researcher asks her colleagues to help identify a sample of n = 100 students who all sit in the front row in at least one class. At the end of the semester, the grades are obtained for these students and the average grade point average is M = 3.25. For the same semester, the average grade point average for the entire college is μ = 2.95 with σ = 1.10. Use a two-tailed test with α = .01 to determine whether students who sit in the front of the classroom have significantly different grade point averages than other students.NOTICE that you are asked to use α = .01!

However, if the decimal place is present, start counting the first nonzero number from the left and continue counting to the right until the final digit has been reached. For example, the number 50 only has two significant figures, while the number 50.00 has four significant figures. However, how does the number 50 have two significant figures? If I have to start countingfrom the right because of the absence of a decimal place, and I have to begin with the first non zero number, I would have to start from 5 and there is nowhere to count further to the left. How does the number 50 have two significant figures?arrow_forward
- 1) Perform the indicated mathematical operations. State the uncertainty of the final answer as ± 1-digit variation in the least significant digit.
