c) In an iron determination (taking 1 g sample every time) the following four replicate results were obtained: 24.8, 25.2, 23.6 and 24.7 mg iron. Calculate the coefficient of variation and relative standard deviation in ppm of the given data.
6. a) In a factory there are three machines A, B, C which produce 10%, 40% and 50% items respectively. Past experience shows that percentage of defective items produced by machines A, B, C are 5%, 4%, 2% respectively.
