To calculate the average pH values after filtration for each media, we'll sum the pH values from all trials and then divide by the number of trials (which is 5).

Calculations:

  1. Cotton Balls

    • pH values: 6.4, 6.5, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6
    • Sum: 6.4 + 6.5 + 6.4 + 6.5 + 6.6 = 32.4
    • Average: 32.4 / 5 = 6.48
  2. Coffee Filter

    • pH values: 6.5, 6.6, 6.4, 6.6, 6.6
    • Sum: 6.5 + 6.6 + 6.4 + 6.6 + 6.6 = 32.7
    • Average: 32.7 / 5 = 6.54
  3. Charcoal

    • pH values: 6.4, 6.5, 6.4, 6.5, 6.5
    • Sum: 6.4 + 6.5 + 6.4 + 6.5 + 6.5 = 32.3
    • Average: 32.3 / 5 = 6.46
  4. Sand

    • pH values: 7.0, 7.1, 7.1, 7.0, 7.2
    • Sum: 7.0 + 7.1 + 7.1 + 7.0 + 7.2 = 35.4
    • Average: 35.4 / 5 = 7.08
  5. Marble

    • pH values: 6.7, 6.7, 6.8, 6.7, 6.8
    • Sum: 6.7 + 6.7 + 6.8 + 6.7 + 6.8 = 33.7
    • Average: 33.7 / 5 = 6.74

Final Results with Averages:

| Filter Media | Dirty Water pH | pH after Filtration [Trial 1] | pH after Filtration [Trial 2] | pH after Filtration [Trial 3] | pH after Filtration [Trial 4] | pH after Filtration [Trial 5] | Avg. | |----------------|----------------|-------------------------------|-------------------------------|-------------------------------|-------------------------------|-------------------------------|-------| | Cotton Balls | 6.2 | 6.4 | 6.5 | 6.4 | 6.5 | 6.6 | 6.48 | | Coffee Filter | 6.2 | 6.5 | 6.6 | 6.4 | 6.6 | 6.6 | 6.54 | | Charcoal | 6.2 | 6.4 | 6.5 | 6.4 | 6.5 | 6.5 | 6.46 | | Sand | 6.2 | 7.0 | 7.1 | 7.1 | 7.0 | 7.2 | 7.08 | | Marble | 6.2 | 6.7 | 6.7 | 6.8 | 6.7 | 6.8 | 6.74 |
