4.14+0.03 cm, are they in agreement? (See analysis section 3.b – show your work.)

b. Compare your determination of the acceleration due to gravity to the "accepted value"
(9.81 ± 0.03 m/s?) guantitatively. Do they agree?
i. To compare two values with uncertainties, you find the difference and compare
them to the propagated uncertainties. That is if there are two values a ±da and
b±db, you need to compare a-b to 2/(Sa) +(8b) . If the difference is
smaller than the propagated uncertainty, then the two values are in agreement,
if not, they do not agree. You should ask the question:
i. ļa-b| s 2(da) +(öb}
iii. If it is true, the values are in agreement, if the statement is not true, the values
are not in agreement.
