GEFS 1

1. Assume a line is measured in three sections with errors in the individual parts equal to ±0.015
m, ±0.022 m, and ±0.029 m respectively. Determine the anticipated error of the total length.
a. ±0.039 m
b. ±0.041 m
c. ±0.058 m
d. ±0.022 m

Solution:
√ ( 0.015 )2 +( 0.022 )2 +( 0.029 )2=0.039 m
2. A line was measured three times and yielded the following results: 826.52 m, 826.68 m, and
826.11 m. What is the probable error of the mean?
a. 0.254
b. 0.114
c. 0.311
d. 0.186

Solution:
826.52+826.68+826.11
