A lab class conducts a 1000 trial scattering probability experiment. Nine (9) target marbles were used on a 45.0 cm wide board. The marble diameter was calculated to be 1.48 cm.
How many hits were recorded during the experiment?
If the standard value for the marble diameter is 1.57 cm, what is the percent error in the experimental marble diameter?
To determine the number of hits recorded during the experiment, we need to know the scattering probability. The scattering probability can be calculated by dividing the number of hits by the number of trials and then multiplying by 100.
So, to find the number of hits, we first need to calculate the scattering probability.
Scattering probability = (Number of hits / Number of trials) * 100
Given that there were 1000 trials conducted, we need to determine the number of hits to substitute into the formula.
Now, let's calculate the scattering probability:
Scattering probability = (Number of hits / 1000) * 100
To find the number of hits, we need some additional information. Please provide the measurement or value that represents the scattering probability for this experiment.
Regarding the percent error in the experimental marble diameter, we can calculate it using the following formula:
Percent error = ((Experimental value - Accepted value) / Accepted value) * 100
Given that the accepted value for the marble diameter is 1.57 cm and the experimental value is 1.48 cm, we can now substitute these values into the formula to determine the percent error:
Percent error = ((1.48 cm - 1.57 cm) / 1.57 cm) * 100
Simplifying this equation will give us the result for the percent error.
