Question

What is the angular misclosure at a 95% confidence level?

BSGE students of Caraga State University
conducted a rectangular traverse. The
angles were observed using a Transit with 4
repetitions each. The distances were
observed using a steel tape. The observed
values of distances and their standard
deviations are as follows:
Standard
Occupied Sighted Distance
Station (m.)
