1. The pH of a solution is measured eight times by one operator using the same instrument. She obtains the following data: 7.15, 7.20, 7.18, 7.19, 7.21, 7.20, 7.16, and 7.18.(a) Calculate the sample mean. Suppose that the desirable value for this solution was specified to be 7.20. Do you think that the sample mean value computed here is close enough to the target value to accept the solution as conforming to target? Explain your reasoning.(b) Calculate the sample variance and sample standard deviation. What do you think are the major sources of variability in this experiment? Why is it desirable to have a small variance of these measurements?
