A refrigerator thermometer is read ten times and registers degrees Celsius as: 39.1, 39.4, 39.1, 39.2, 39.1, 39.2, 39.1, 39.1, 39.4, and 39.1. However, the real temperature inside the refrigerator is 37.0 degrees C. What can you tell about the refrigerator thermometer? It is accurate, but not precise. It is neither accurate nor precise. It is both accurate and precise. It is precise, but not accurate.

It is precise, but not accurate.

One of the first steps in the Scientific Method, something anyone can do regardless of equipment, is... Analyze Results Draw a conclusion Test Hypothesis Make an observation

Make an observation

A pharmaceutical company has just purchased a new machine to produce 200-mg ibuprofen tablets. Before getting rid of their older machine, they carry out an experiment to determine if the new machine is as accurate as the older one. Random samples of 10 tablets from each machine are taken and analyzed for ibuprofen content. The raw data and analysis output are as follows: Old Machine: 199.8 199.7 200.0 200.1 199.6 199.9 200.0 200.2 200.7 200.0 New Machine: 199.8 196.4 201.2 201.9 203.3 198.5 203.4 200.4 193.9 202.1

Old Machine: Mean: 200 Minimum: 199.6 Maximum: 200.7 Count: 10 Standard Deviation: 0.305505 P-value: 0.92736 New Machine: Mean: 200.09 Minimum: 193.9 Maximum: 203.4 Count: 10 Standard Deviation: 3.063205

What color is present for a positive test for proteins using Biuret? Pale Purple/Violet Yellow Light Orange Dark Purple/Black

Pale Purple/Violet
