Question

Should your calculated value for the percentage of water be similar or different to those determined by other groups? Explain? (this is a question for a hydrate lab)

At some point the value for the percentage of water can be similar or different to those determined by other groups because of error during the experiment. Some groups can get an error close to actual value while others may not be within the range of acceptable values.
