Question

Three bottles poured into bigger container. individual bottles have a mean of 15 ounces and standard deviation of .08. what is the standard deviation of the volume of liquid emptied to bigger container?

Answer 1

The variance of the individual bottles is 0.08^2 = 0.0064.
The variance of the volume of liquid in the bigger container is 0.0064 * 3 = 0.0192.
The standard deviation of the volume of liquid in the bigger container is given by:
\[\large S.D.=\sqrt{0.0192}=0.1386\]
