Average titre = 21.85 + 22.15 + 21.95 / 3 = 21.98 (there is a rule that you use any titres
within a 0.3cm3 range of the concordant titres to calculate the average)
What is the average titre?
21.10 + 21.50 + 21.20?
Points to bring out:
Use a ruler
Include units
Readings to 2 d.p. and second number is 0 or 5 dont put 0 or 0.0!
Go through their examples from Act ES5.1 as well as the ones above
Show working for average see below from Derek Denby
Use T and (THE LATER IF INCLUDED IN CALCULATION OF AVERAGE TITRE)
Average now to 2 d.p and the second number after the decimal place can be anything.
If a student gets 21.20, 21.50, they need to do another titration because there results are not within 0.1. If they then
get 21.3 they can stop as they have two results within 0.1. They should calculate an average of all 3 results because
they are within 0.3.
If they get 21.20. 21.50 and 21.10 they should stop because they now have two results within 0.1. They should use
only 21.20 and 21.10 to calculate the average because 21.50 is beyond the 0.3 range.
If there were a case where there is more than one way of calculating an average I guess I would suggest that the
student chooses the smallest range.
x 100 = 0.2%
