3. Three students make measurements (in m) of the length of a rod using a meter stick. Each
student's measurements are tabulated in the table below. Using your calculator in statistic
mode calculate the mean L, standard deviation S and uncertainty u of the measurements.

Note that the actual length of the rod is determined by a laser measurement technique to be
1.4715 m (this should be considered the standard value).
a) State how one determines the accuracy of a measurement. Apply your idea to the
measurements of the three students above and state which student has the most
accurate measurement.
