mr. potters physical science classes conducted an experiment to determine the density of aluminum. here are the density values each class period came up with: $1^{\text{st}}$ hour = $3.1\text{ g/ml}$, $2^{\text{nd}}$ hour = $3.05\text{ g/ml}$, $3^{\text{rd}}$ hour = $1.9\text{ g/ml}$, $4^{\text{th}}$ hour = $2.35\text{ g/ml}$, $5^{\text{th}}$ hour = $4.2\text{ g/ml}$, and $6^{\text{th}}$ hour = $4.0\text{ g/ml}$. if aluminums true density is $2.7\text{ g/ml}$, how would you group the class values based on accuracy?

a. group: $1^{\text{st}}$, $3^{\text{rd}}$, $5^{\text{th}}$, and $6^{\text{th}}$ hours, with one recorded decimal place in their values
group: $2^{\text{nd}}$. and $4^{\text{th}}$ hours, with two recorded decimal places in their values
b. group: $3^{\text{rd}}$. and $4^{\text{th}}$ hours, with values under the true density
group: $1^{\text{st}}$, $2^{\text{nd}}$, $5^{\text{th}}$, and $6^{\text{th}}$ hours, with values over the true density
c. group: $3^{\text{rd}}$ hour, with a 1 value
group: $4^{\text{th}}$ hour, with a 2 value
group: $1^{\text{st}}$ and $2^{\text{nd}}$ hours, with 3 values
group: $5^{\text{th}}$ and $6^{\text{th}}$ hours, with 4 values

# Answer: b. Group: $3^{\text{rd}}$ and $4^{\text{th}}$ hours, with values under the true density Group: $1^{\text{st}}$, $2^{\text{nd}}$, $5^{\text{th}}$, and $6^{\text{th}}$ hours, with values over the true density # Explanation: ## Step1: Identify the true density $$\text{True density} = 2.7\text{ g/ml}$$ ## Step2: Compare each class value to the true density $$ \begin{aligned} 1^{\text{st}}\text{ hour} &= 3.1\text{ g/ml} > 2.7\text{ g/ml (Over)} \ 2^{\text{nd}}\text{ hour} &= 3.05\text{ g/ml} > 2.7\text{ g/ml (Over)} \ 3^{\text{rd}}\text{ hour} &= 1.9\text{ g/ml} < 2.7\text{ g/ml (Under)} \ 4^{\text{th}}\text{ hour} &= 2.35\text{ g/ml} < 2.7\text{ g/ml (Under)} \ 5^{\text{th}}\text{ hour} &= 4.2\text{ g/ml} > 2.7\text{ g/ml (Over)} \ 6^{\text{th}}\text{ hour} &= 4.0\text{ g/ml} > 2.7\text{ g/ml (Over)} \end{aligned} $$ ## Step3: Group the classes based on accuracy $$ \begin{aligned} \text{Under true density} &: 3^{\text{rd}}\text{ and } 4^{\text{th}}\text{ hours} \ \text{Over true density} &: 1^{\text{st}}, 2^{\text{nd}}, 5^{\text{th}}, \text{ and } 6^{\text{th}}\text{ hours} \end{aligned} $$
