You have a chemical reaction between 700 grams of compound A & 300 grams of compound B which produces compound C. You measure the resultant amount of C in grams over 8 trials which are listed below. What range do you estimate for the amount of compound C that will be produced by any single performance of this reaction? You should give a range that you are 95% confident in. 285.0 299.7 286.4 286.8 302.6 298.7 297.6 290.6 Amount of C Produced = ____

Answer:

278.68 g - 293.35 g

Step-by-step explanation:

since they are several trials, to have a trust value, first is necessary the average to know a value of reference.

so you add the 8 quantities and you divide them into 8.

In this case, the average is 293.35 g

Considering this average is the 100 % of the chemical reaction, not all the chemical reactions, react at the 100 %, a trust value could be the 95 % of the value. so..

293.35 g = 100%

x = 95 %

X= (95 % x 293.35 g ) / 100 % = 278.68 g

Hope this info is useful
