QuestionCalculate the average volume of pollutants from three plants: New Bedford (6.215 L), Allegheny (5.4 L), Fall River (30.2 L).

Studdy Solution
The average volume calculated in the previous step has too many decimal places. We need to round it to the correct number of significant digits. The smallest number of significant digits in the original data is2 (in the volume from the Allegheny plant), so we should round our answer to2 significant digits.
Averagevolume=14LAverage\, volume =14\, LThe chemical engineer should report an average volume of14 L.
