Question 1
You measure the same liquid five times with results: 25.1 mL, 25.3 mL, 25.2 mL, 25.0 mL, and 25.4 mL. Calculate the average and discuss the random error present.
💡 Hint: Use the formula for the mean to find out the average value.
Question 2
If the standard deviation of your repeated measurements is 0.2 mL for a liquid, explain what this tells you about the random error.
💡 Hint: Consider what standard deviation says about the spread of your data.
