A tiny drop of dye is put in a very still tub of water. The dye molecules travel about 10^-11 m between collisions and undergo about 10^13 collisions per second.

For molecular motion in one direction, calculate the average distance traveled and the standared deviation after:

a) one step

b) one minute

c) one year (3.17x10^7 sweconds)
