You and your lab partner are asked to determine the density of an aluminum bar. The mass is known accurately (to four significant figures). You use a simple metric ruler to measure its dimensions and obtain the results for Method A. Your partner uses a precision micrometer and obtains the results for Method B.
Method A (g/cm3) 2.7 Method B (g/cm3) 2.703 2.701 2.705 5.811
The accepted density of aluminum is 2.702 g/cm 3 .
(a) Calculate the average density for each method.
Should all the experimental results be included in your calculations? If not, justify any omissions.
(b) Calculate the percent error for each method’s average value.
(c) Calculate the standard deviation for each set of data.
(d) Which method’s average value is more precise? Which method is more accurate?
