You and your lab partner record the following counts of stomata in sunflower leaves.

sunflower plant 1 2 3 4 5 6
stomata (per examination area) 88 93 90 92 75 78

(a) calculate the standard deviation of the number of stomata for the sunflower leaves.

(b) calculate the standard error in the number of stomata for the sunflower leaves.

a)

b)

Explanation:

First of all we are required to calculate the mean of the Stomata (per examination area) which is equal to

Now for standard deviation,  the formula is

Where X is the value of number and X' is the value of mean. n is the number of entry.

a)

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get

b) Standard error in the number of stomata for the sunflower leaves.

Standard error =

volcanoes (an event in the geosphere) release a large amount of particulate matter into the atmosphere. these particles serve as nuclei for the formation of water droplets (hydrosphere). rainfall (hydrosphere) often increases following an eruption, stimulating plant growth (biosphere).

emerging idea only occurs as a raw idea that could appear out of nowhere. meanwhile, to reach scientific consensus , that idea must be structured and tested over and over again through various experiments. the scientific consensus transforms the raw idea into idea that is more reliable through the process of scientific elimination.
