Sensitivity Of The Centogram
Balance
-If the same object was massed several
times on the same balance, the normal variation would be
within + .02 grams.
-For example, an object with a mass of
100.00 grams would range anywhere from 99.98 grams to 100.02
grams.
-This is because the balance is only able
to detect changes in mass of more than .02 grams. Any change
in mass of less than or equal to .02 grams is not a real
change in mass. This is due to the normal variation of the
balance.
Histograms
-A histogram is a type of bar graph that
shows how often answers occur.
-The height of the bars indicate how many
times an answer occurs.
-The vertical axis is labeled "frequency"
while the horizontal axis is labeled with the type of data
found in the class results chart.
-The title should indicate the type of
data shown and what it was based on.
