Question

A line of three-wire differential levels goes from benchmark Gloria to benchmark Carey. The length of the line was determined to be 2097 m. The instrument had a stated compensator accuracy of pm 1.4 mm/ km. The instrument–rod combination had an estimated reading error of 0.4 mm per 40 m. Sight distances were kept to approximately 50 5 m. If the observed difference in elevation is 15.601 m, what is the estimated error in the final elevation difference?

If benchmark Gloria had a fixed elevation of 231.071 m and Carey had a fixed elevation of 246.660 m, did the job meet acceptable closure limits at a 95% level of confidence? Justify your answer statistically.
