1. A line known to be 150.000 m long, is measured five times with a steel tape in the following order: 150.004, 149.998, 149.997, 150.005, and 149.996 m, respectively. The most accurate of the five measurements is the a. 1* measurement b. 2" measurement c. 3d measurement d. 4" measurement e. 5* measurement 2. The most probable value of several measurements of a line is 546.75 m. If ±0.15 represents the probable error of the mean value, the hances are even that the true value a. is equal to 546.60 m b. is equal to 546.90 m c. lies between 546.60 m and 546.75 m d. lies between 546.75 and 546.90 m as it is also probable that the true value lies outside of these limiting values e. lies between 546.60 and 546.90 m, as it is also probable that the true value lies outside of these limiting values

Question

Transcribed Image Text:1. A line known to be 150.000 m long, is measured five times
with a steel tape in the following order: 150.004, 149.998,
149.997, 150.005, and 149.996 m, respectively. The most
accurate of the five measurements is the
a. 1* measurement
b. 2d measurement
c. 3" measurement
d. 4t measurement
e. 5h measurement
2. The most probable value of several measurements of a line
is 546.75 m. If +0.15 represents the probable error of the
mean value, the hances are even that the true value
a. is equal to 546.60 m
b. is equal to 546.90 m
c. lies between 546.60 m and 546.75 m
d. lies between 546.75 and 546.90 m as it is also probable
that the true value lies outside of these limiting values
e. lies between 546.60 and 546.90 m, as it is also probable
that the true value lies outside of these limiting values
