The mean and standerd deviation deviation of some data for the time taken to complete a test are calculated with the following result s Number of observation =25,means=18.2 s,standard deviation =3.25 s further another set of 15 obserbvation x_(1),x_(2)...x_(15) also in seconds is now available and we have Sigma_(i=1)^(15) x_(i)=279 and Sigma_(i =1)^(15) x_(i)^(2)=5524 .Calculate the standard derivation based on all 40 observation .

Cholesterol, when isolated from natural sources, is obtained as a single enantiomer. The observed rotation alpha of a 0.3 g sample of cholesterol in 5mL of chloroform solution contained in a 10 cm polarimeter tube is -0.78^(@) . Calculate the specific rotation of cholesterol. A sample of synthetic cholesterol was prepared consisting entirely of (+)-cholesterol. This synthetic (+)-cholesterol was mixed with some natural (-)-cholesterol. The mixture had a specific rotation [alpha]_(D)^(20) " of " -13^(@). What fraction of the mixture was (+)-cholesterol ?
