For a class science project, students worked in groups to make potato-powered batteries. Each of the 8 groups used a voltmeter to measure the voltage produced by their potatoes:3.6volts,3.9volts,3.6volts,3.6volts,3.6volts,3.6volts,3.7volts,3.2voltsWhat was the mean voltage?_____volts
Q. For a class science project, students worked in groups to make potato-powered batteries. Each of the 8 groups used a voltmeter to measure the voltage produced by their potatoes:3.6volts,3.9volts,3.6volts,3.6volts,3.6volts,3.6volts,3.7volts,3.2voltsWhat was the mean voltage?_____volts
List Voltage Readings: Step 1: 3.6 volts, 3.9 volts, 3.6 volts, 3.6 volts, 3.6 volts, 3.6 volts, 3.7 volts, 3.2 voltsList all the voltage readings from the groups.
Calculate Total Voltage: Step 2: Add all the voltage readings together to find the total voltage.3.6+3.9+3.6+3.6+3.6+3.6+3.7+3.2=29.8 volts
Find Mean Voltage: Step 3: Divide the total voltage by the number of groups to find the mean voltage.29.8 volts ÷8 = 3.725 volts
