Answer

σ=0.2179(1−M)\sigma = 0.2179 (1 - M)

Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Calculate the standard deviation at perfect mixing (σp\sigma_p).

    For a perfectly mixed binary system, the concentration of yeast in any sample is ideally uniform and equal to the overall average concentration CC. Therefore, the standard deviation of concentrations in a perfectly mixed system is zero.

    σp=0\sigma_p = 0
  2. Express the standard deviation during mixing (σ\sigma) in terms of the mixing index (MM).

    The standard deviation during mixing (σ\sigma) represents the actual measured standard deviation of samples taken at a particular point in time during the mixing process. It is related to the standard deviation at the start of mixing (σ0\sigma_0) and the mixing index (MM) by the formula:

    M=σ0−σσ0−σpM = \frac{\sigma_0 - \sigma}{\sigma_0 - \sigma_p}

    From the previous calculation, σ0=0.2179\sigma_0 = 0.2179. Substituting this value and σp=0\sigma_p = 0 into the formula:

    M=0.2179−σ0.2179−0M = \frac{0.2179 - \sigma}{0.2179 - 0} M=0.2179−σ0.2179M = \frac{0.2179 - \sigma}{0.2179}

    Rearranging the equation to solve for σ\sigma:

    0.2179M=0.2179−σ0.2179 M = 0.2179 - \sigma σ=0.2179−0.2179M\sigma = 0.2179 - 0.2179 M σ=0.2179(1−M)\sigma = 0.2179 (1 - M)

    Since no value for the mixing index (MM) or experimental data from during mixing is provided, a specific numerical value for σ\sigma cannot be determined from the information given.
