3 SKILLS TAUGHT 3
"GOOD GRAPHING"
Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form.
What is the formula for slope?
What is the formula for the slope of your graph?
What are the units of your slope?
What is the ideal value for this relationship?
What is y-intercept?
What was your y-intercept from your graph?
(4)ANALYSIS (4)
What does the intercept tell you about your lab? What should your intercept have been?
Explain.
What is the formula for % error?
What does the slope of your graph represent?
What was your % error in the lab?
If the
error is above ±5 % give a possible reason(s) that agree(s) with the error.
Look at the R2 value, this is known as the
coefficient of regression. It is a
number describing how well your points follow a linear relationship. The closer it is to 1 indicates linearity.
Does
the R2 describe the Precision or the Accuracy?
(5)Interpretation (5)
Using the above
information write a statement citing evidence about both the precision and
accuracy of your lab. What needs to be
done to improve the results in future labs?
Is there a way you can verify this?
