Question
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), a semicrystalline polymer that is fully biodegradable and biocompatible, is obtained from renewable resources. From a sustainability perspective, PHB offers many attractive properties though it is more expensive to produce than standard plastics. The accompanying data on melting point (°C) for each of 12 specimens of the polymer using a differential scanning calorimeter appeared in an article.
180.4 181.7 180.9 181.7 182.7 181.5
181.4 182.1 182.1 180.4 181.8 180.4
Compute the following. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
