Abstract
In the experimental investigation of the physical properties of molecules one deals as a rule with a very large number of individual molecules which are collected all together within the sample volume. They all contribute to the measured quantities, and conclusions regarding the properties and behaviour of the individual molecules can be reached only by considering the averaged values obtained from these many contributors.
