Suppose you used the pipette to make 10 additions to a flask, and suppose the pipette had a 10% random error in the amount delivered with each delivery. Use equation 1 on page 25 to calculate the percent error in the total volume delivered to the flask using the number of clicks you were permitted to make. Report that total percentage below.

Here is the equation: random error of average = error in one measurement/n^1/2

    The total percentage is 3.16237%

    Explanation:

    Solution

    Now,

    We have to know what a random error is.

    A random error is an error in measured caused by factors or elements which varies from one measurement to another.

    The random error is shown as follows:

    The average random error is = the error found in one measurement/n^1/2

    Where

    n = Number (how many times the experiment was done)

    Now that we added 10 times we have that,

    n → 10

    Thus,

    The error in one measurement = 10%

    So,

    The average random error = 10 % / (10) ^1/2

    = (10) ^1/2 %

    √10%

    The total percentage is = 3.16237%
