SE + WP Flashcards
SE definition
SE–range of WHERE MEAN SHOULD FALL. standard error–tells us how accurate estimate of the mean is. the smaller the standard error, the more accurate our estimate is. Few samples = larger standard error. many samples= smaller. 60, 70, 80, vs 60, 65, 70, 75, 80
SD definition
how spread out the numbers are that defined the mean.. 68, 69, 70 vs 59, 69, 79
water potential info
measure of how likely water is to move from location A (outside cell) to location B (inside). moves from greater to lesser.
water potential is greater in location A if…
water in location A has greater potential to move
water potential formula
solute potential + pressure potential
water potential of pure water
0
solute potential
-iCRT
i
i=ionization constant/how many ions that solute forms in water
C
molar concentration
R
pressure constant (R = 0.0831 liter bars/mole K)
T
temperature in Kelvin (ºC + 273)
