Error Analysis and Graph Drawing Assignment

The document describes 5 assignments involving error analysis and graph drawing from experimental data: 1. Plot data with 10% errors as error bars and find slope and intercept of best fit line. 2. Calculate error in dependent variable given errors in independent variables. 3. Plot transformed data to find constants in empirical expression relating 2 variables. 4. Plot transformed data to find constants in functional relationship between variables. 5. Plot data on semi-log graph to determine constants in equation relating conductivity and temperature.
