2. Comparing Density and Volume Summer Science Academy Friday July 22, 2005 LeMoyne-Owen College Group Four (4)

3. Group Members Marico Q. Frazier Hendaia Wondim Timothy Renfroe Ashley Gaither

4. Purpose To describe mass and volume for each experimental item. To estimate the relationship between mass and volume. To compare experimental and accepted density values.

5. Methods Measure the mass of the right cylinder and the rectangle cube Measure to find the radius of the cylinder and its height to find its volume Measure to find the length, width, and height of the rectangle cube to find its volume Divide the mass of each object by its volume to find the experimental density

6. Working Hard Finding an Answer

7. Measurements Volume = Length * Width * Height

8. Descriptive Statistics Graphical Method

9. Density Density = Mass / Volume

10. Descriptive Statistics Numerical Method

11. Linear Regression without intercept term

12. Hypothesis Null Hypothesis: Experimental & Accepted Densities are same. Alternative Hypothesis: Experimental & Accepted Densities are different.

13. Paired t-test P-value > 0.05. So, failed to reject null hypothesis.

14. Conclusion Since we failed to reject null hypothesis, the experimental density supports the accepted density. Thus, we confirm the formula, Density = Mass / Volume.
