Consider the following four measurements of a quantity r, made by four separate groups of experimenters using similar experimental methods. In each case the first uncertainty given is statistical and the second is systematic. - 5.2 +0.2±0.3 ra - 4.9 +0.1±0.4 4.43 0.12 +0.01 . - 5.5 ±0.3+0.3 Assuming the systematic and statistical uncertainties are uncorrelated, a). sompute the total uncertainties in each case. b). Compute the weighted average of these four measurements and its uncertainty.
