Electrolysis An analytical chemist wanted touse electrolysis to determine the number of moles ofcupric ions in a given volume of solution. The solutionwas partitioned into n 30 portions of .2 millilitereach, and each of the portions was tested. The averagenumber of moles of cupric ions for the n 30 portionswas found to be .17 mole; the standard deviation was.01 mole.a. Describe the distribution of the measurementsfor the n 30 portions of the solution usingTchebysheffs Theorem.b. Describe the distribution of the measurements forthe n 30 portions of the solution using theEmpirical Rule. (Do you expect the Empirical Ruleto be suitable for describing these data?)c. Suppose the chemist had used only n 4 portionsof the solution for the experiment and obtained thereadings .15, .19, .17, and .15. Would theEmpirical Rule be suitable for describing the n 4measurements? Why?
