Due Date: September 9, 2020

Learning Competencies:

Differentiate Arithmetic mean and Standard Deviation

Instructions:

1, While the car was moving, seven readings of its speed were recorded using the speedometer. The
readings are 25 m/s, 27 m/s, 30 m/s, 35 m/s, 26 m/s, 28 m/s, and 24 m/s. What is the average speed
of
the car?
Answer: 27.86 m/s is the average speed of the car
2. The mass of a sample of steel was measured three times in a digital balance. Its average mass is
1.117 g. The first trial reads 1.125 g while the second trial acquired 1.067 g. What is the mass of the
steel in the third trial?
Answer: 1.159 g is the mass of steel in the third trial
3. In one of the laboratory activities, the distance traveled by a toy car was measured five times. The
distances measured in the first four trials are 1.50 m, 1.75 m, 1.30 m, and 1.50 m. If the average
distance is 1.48 m, what is the distance traveled by the car in the fifth trial?
Answer: 1.35 m is the distance traveled by the car in the fifth trial
4, The temperature of hot water was measured 10 times in one experiment. Different people measured
the same container of hot water with different thermometers. The following readings are provided: 70
°C, 75 °C, 72 °C, 158 °F, 167 °F, 176 °F, 69 °C, 66 °C, 65 °C, and 345.15 K. What is the standard
deviation of the set of values in °C?
Answer: 4.48°C is the standard deviation of values in Celsius
5. Different people were made to accurately measure the length of the hall. The set of readings is as
follows: 26 m, 0.028 km, 27.5 m, 29 m, 31 m, 0.033 km, and 2 650 cm. What is the standard deviation
of this set of values in m?
Answer: 2.51 m is the standard deviation of values in m
