Question:

J. J. Thomson (1856-1940) discovered the electron by isolating negatively charged particles for which he could measure the mass/charge ratio. This ratio appeared to be constant over a wide range of experimental conditions and, consequently, could be a characteristic of a new particle. His observations, from two different cathode-ray tubes that used air as the gas, are

Tube 10.570.340.430.320.480.400.40
Tube 20.530.470.470.510.630.610.48


(a) Draw a dot diagram with solid dots for Tube 1 observations and circles for Tube 2 observations.

(b) Calculate the mean and standard deviation for the Tube 1 observations.

(c) Calculate the mean and standard deviation for the Tube 2 observations.
