The acidity or alkalinity of a solution is measured using pH
The acidity or alkalinity of a solution is measured using pH. A pH less than 7 is acidic; a pH greater than 7 is alkaline. The accompanying data represent the pH in samples of bottled water and tap water Complete parts (a) and (b) Compute the mean median and mode pH for each type of water in table (a) only. F or tap water. the mean pH is .(Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
Solution
Mean =7.52083
Ascending order:
7.10,7.45,7.45,7.47,7.47,7.47,7.50,7.52,7.56,7.65,7.68,7.93
Mean = (7.47+7.5)/2 = 7.484999999999999
Mode = 7.47
--------------------------------------------
For bottled:
Mean = 5.175
Ascending Order:
4.78,5.09,5.13,5.15,5.20,5.22,5.23,5.24,5.26,5.26,5.26,5.28
Median =(5.22+5.23)/2 = 5.225
Mode:5.26
