For each set of data provided, calculate the statistics requested. (a) You have been given a crate of 5,000 bags of Skittles*. After weighing and tabulating each of the bags, you generate the following data table. What is the average weight of a bag of Skittles* in the crate?

Explanation / Answer

Question 6

For this problem we need to convert the following quantities to more adequate ones using metric prefixes like m (mili = 1 x 10-3), k (kilo = 1 x 103), M (mega = 1 x 106)...

a) 27.4333 x 10-4 g

For this problem the most adecuade prefix is mili = 1 x 10-3 (1g = 1000mg)

27.4333 x 10-4 g (1000 mg / 1 g) = 2.74333 mg

b) 0.023 mol

For this problem, again, the most adequate preflix is mili (1 mol = 1000 mmol)

0.023 mol (1000 mmol/ 1 mol) = 23 mmol

c) 7.99 x 103 bytes

For this one, the most adequate prefix to use is kilo (1 kbyte = 1000 bytes)

7.99 x 103 bytes (1 kbyte / 1000 bytes) = 7.99 kbytes

d) 0.000000005 s = 5 x 10-9 s

For this one, the most adequate prefix to use is nano (1 ns = 1 x 10-9s)

5 x 10-9 s ( 1 ns/ 1 x 10-9s) = 5ns
