The Simulation Exercise

 
 


A pharmaceutical company fills vials with a saline solution. They are interested in the 'salinity' of the solution.

Instructions

  1. Click the Take Sample button to generate data
  2. Read the value on the 'SALINITY' meter
  3. Use the collected data to perform your analysis
  4. You can adjust the salinity by rotating the dial, but this is not part of the current activity.
