In summary, the "accepted range" refers to the range of values that are considered acceptable for a particular experiment. It can vary and may be subjective in some cases. It is used as a measure to evaluate the accuracy and potential for improvement in results.

What is the "accepted range"?

Homework Statement



Were your values within an acceptable range? If not, find reasons for the discrepancy.

Homework Equations



( |Accepted value - experimental value| ) / accepted value

Absolute value of accepted value-experimental value over accepted value

The Attempt at a Solution



I'm not sure, I just don't know what the accepted range is.

The accepted range is different for each experiment. At times it is subjective. You are probably being asked for a subjective evaluation of your accuracy. Could you improve your results in some way. Was your result the best that could be expected given your equipment and skill?

Okay, thanks.
 

FAQ: Is Your Experimental Value Within the Accepted Range?

What is the accepted range?

The accepted range refers to the range of values or measurements that are considered within acceptable limits for a particular variable or phenomenon.

How is the accepted range determined?

The accepted range is typically determined through a combination of scientific research, statistical analysis, and expert consensus. It may also be based on established standards or guidelines.

Why is it important to know the accepted range?

Knowing the accepted range is important because it helps to ensure that data and results are accurate and reliable. It also allows for comparisons to be made and for potential issues or outliers to be identified.

Can the accepted range change over time?

Yes, the accepted range may change over time as new research and data become available. It may also vary among different contexts or populations.

What happens if a measurement falls outside of the accepted range?

If a measurement falls outside of the accepted range, it may indicate a potential error or anomaly. Further investigation may be needed to determine the cause and to determine if the measurement should be considered valid or not.
