Determine whether the following example is either a systematic or random error: Eggs are sold by size; the large eggs used in this lab ranged from 56.7-63.8 g. Therefore one-third of Renata's egg in each cake was different from one-third of an egg in Sally's cake. Group of answer choices Random Error Systematic Error

The density of an irregularly shaped object was determined as follows. The mass of the object was found to be 28.90 g 0.03 g. A graduated cylinder was partially filled with water. The reading of the level of the water was 6.4 cm3 0.1 cm3. The object was dropped in the cylinder, and the level of the water rose to 9.8 cm3 0.1 cm3. What is the density of the object with appropriate error limits? (See Appendix 1.5.)
Perform the calculations and determine the absolute and percent relative uncertainty. Express each answer with the correct number of significant figures. To avoid rounding errors, do not round your answers until the very end of your calculations. [9.8 (±0.3) — 2.31 (±0.01)] 8.5 (+0.6) = absolute uncertainty: + 0.76 Incorrect percent relative uncertainty: 0.88 + 86.36 Incorrect 9.2 (+0.4) × ([5.4 (±0.3) × 10−³] + [5.6 (±0.1) × 10-³]) = Incorrect %

Glucose levels are routinely monitored in patients suffering from diabetes. The glucose concentrations in a patient with mildly elevated glucose levels were determined in different months by a spectrophotometric analytical method. What is the standard deviation of the glucose concentration on Month 1?

1. A graduated cylinder with a least count of ± 0.5 ml is used in a density experiment. The initial water level, before inserting the irregular shaped solid, is 30.0 ml. After inserting the solid, the water level is 34.5 ml. What is the probable error in the volume of the solid? What is the probable percent error in the volume of the solid?
In a certain population, body weights are normally distributed with a mean of 152 pounds and a standard deviation of 26 pounds. How many people must be surveyed if we want to estimate the percentage who weigh more than 180 pounds? Assume that we want 96% confidence that the error is no more than 4 percentage points.
I still keep getting this question wrong. I put 4.2 E -2 as my answer, and it says I'm correct. So then, I tried 4.16 E -2, then 4.1 E-2, but it still didn't work. I am incredibly lost in this assignment. What am I doing wrong?
A student determines the concentration of an unknown sample using two different methods. Each method has three different trials; the average, standard deviation and percent error produced by each method is listed below. Method 1 Average: 10.56 M NaOH Standard deviation: 1.35 M NaOH Percent error: 1.25% Method 2 Average: 10.92 M NaOH Standard deviation: 1.02 M NaOH Percent error: 3.45% Which method was more precise? How can you tell?
I am supposed to calculate Average absolute deviation (%). I am not sure if 7.16 is the final answer, or do i need to multiply by 100 because they are asking for percent?
Scores from the midterm statistics exam followed a normal distribution with a mean of 68 and a standard deviation of 10. If a student had to score at least an 86 to earn an A, what is the probability that a student earned an A? (Use a table or technology. Round your answer to four decimal places.)
