Add one 400g mass to the platform. Carefully lift the platform up
and release it. Take care to make sure that there is no side-to-side
movement of the platform, and the mass moves freely without
hitting the supporting frame.
Note the time taken for 20 complete oscillations and calculate the periodic
time, .

(ix) Use the equation from the analytical method to predict the
temperature at three intervals of your choice and calculate the percentage
difference between these and the measured values.

The Head of Quality thinks that the number of breakdowns should follow a
Poisson distribution. Test the null hypothesis that the measurements do
follow a Poisson distribution at a level of significance of 0.05 and also
determine if the data is too good to be true at a level of confidence of
95%
