Pipettes are used when measuring the volumes of liquids with high degree of precision. The following volumes were obtained during the calibration of a 10.00 mL pipette: 10.15 mL, 9.95 mL, 9.99 mL, and 10.02 mL. Calculate the standard deviation for these measurements.

0.075

Explanation:

First obtain the mean of the measurement;

Mean = 10.15 + 9.95 + 9.99 + 10.02/4 = 10.03

Then obtain d^2= (mean-score)^2 for each score;

(10.15-10.03)^2 = 0.0144

(9.95-10.03)^2 = 0.0064

(9.99-10.03)^2 = 0.0016

(10.02-10.03)^2= 0.0001

∑d^2= 0.0144 + 0.0064 + 0.0016 + 0.0001

∑d^2= 0.0225

Variance = ∑d^2/N = 0.0225/4 = 0.005625

Standard deviation= √0.005625

Standard deviation= 0.075

a sequence is a function whose domain is the set of natural numbers.

natural numbers are all the negative and positive integers

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
