When checking nozzle uniformity, what is the acceptable range for a 10% deviation from an average of 45.8 ounces?

To determine the acceptable range for a 10% deviation from an average of 45.8 ounces, first calculate 10% of 45.8 ounces. This is accomplished by multiplying 45.8 by 0.10, yielding 4.58 ounces. Next, subtract this deviation from the average to find the lower limit and add it to the average for the upper limit.

For the lower limit, subtract 4.58 from 45.8, resulting in 41.22 ounces. For the upper limit, add 4.58 to 45.8, giving you 50.38 ounces. Thus, the range of acceptable measurements, accounting for a 10% deviation, would extend from approximately 41.2 ounces to 50.4 ounces.

The choice that fits most closely within this calculated range is 41.0 to 50.6 ounces. This range includes both limits, allowing for some rounding in practice, while ensuring that values measured comfortably fall within what would be considered acceptable operational variability. The deviation ensures that consistency is maintained in nozzle performance, which is crucial in aquatic pest control for effective treatments.
