Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

During a testing session, a researcher repeatedly measures the concentration of a solution to find varying results. Some measurements were too high and others too low. Explain how the researcher could analyze these errors and improve accuracy in future measurements.

💡 Hint: Consider steps related to precision and error identification.

Question 2

You have a set of measurements with a standard deviation of 2.5 and a mean of 25. What can you infer about the reliability of your measurements? What steps would you take if your standard deviation were significantly larger?

💡 Hint: Think about how standard deviation relates to confidence in your data.
