Explanation / Answer

For the first beaker:

No. of measurements (n) = 3

a) Average = (24.7925 + 23.6618 + 23.4299)/3 = 23.9614

b) The standard deviation = {(24.7925-23.9614)2 + (23.6618-23.9614)2 + (23.4299-23.9614)2/(3-1)}1/2

= 0.729

c) % RSD = % Relative Standard Deviation = (standard deviation/average)*100

= (0.729/23.9614)*100

= 3.04%

d) 95% Confidence level = 1.96*standard deviation/(n)1/2

= 1.96*0.729/(3)1/2

= 0.825

Therefore, the 95% Confidence interval = average ± 95% confidence level

= 23.9614 ± 0.825

= 23.1364 to 24.7864

e) % Relative error = (Absolute error/actual value)*100

Absolute error = Actual value - measured value

Note: Similarly measure a, b, c, d, and e in the case of the remaining two beakers.
