*How close is the average mass of the of crucible from letter C compared with that from
the average mass of the crucible from letter D?
The average mass of the crucible from letter C is very accurate. Its trials have the same value,
thus, the average. On the other hand, the average mass of the crucible from letter D is a little bit
far from its values of the trials. However, their average masses are .0002 close to each other, from
a 23.3379 and 23.3377 value.
