laboratory exercise. The true percentage is 22.52%. The students'
results for three determinations are as follows:
1. 22.52, 22.48, 22.54
Precision can be judged by examining the average of the deviations from the average value for that data set. Calculate the average value of the absolute deviations of each measurement from the average for the first set.

Gold can be hammered into extremely thin sheets called gold leaf. An architect wants to cover a 100. ft×84.0 ft ceiling with gold leaf that is five-millionths of an inch thick. The density of gold is 19.32 g/cm3, and gold costs $ 953 per troy ounce (1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 g). How much will it cost the architect to buy the necessary gold?
$5.87×104
