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 1 | 0.57 | 0.34 | 0.43 | 0.32 | 0.48 | 0.40 | 0.40 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Tube 2 | 0.53 | 0.47 | 0.47 | 0.51 | 0.63 | 0.61 | 0.48 |
(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.
