QUESTION 1
You find that statistical uncertainty is your largest measurement uncertainty and that the V value is your largest propagated uncertainty. How can you try to improve both uncertainties in the simplest. but most effective way?
O use a new V instrument and a new DV instrument to collect more measurements at a wicer variety of V data points
O collect DV data for new IV data points
O use a new V instrument but the same DV instrument to collect the same numtber of measurements at a wicer variety of IV data points
o take more measurements for the DV value at the IV data points aiready collected and add more IV data points
O use a new DV instrument to take more DV measurements for the Ivdata points already collected and collect additional DV data for more IV data points not previcusly measured
o start over to collect the same number of DV measurements as before. but al a greater variety of IV data points than before
o take more measurements for the DV values at the IV data points…

For this, two different instruments are used; an analog micrometer and a digital vernier caliper, both recently calibrated and with the same resolution (0.01 mm). The calibration certificate data of the analog micrometer and the digital vernier are shown in tables 5 and 6 respectively. In both cases the calibration uncertainty does not include the contribution of resolution uncertainty. Additionally, there are drift studies for both instruments and it is established that the drift of the micrometer is ± 0.002 mm while the drift of the vernier is ± 0.02 mm. The same number of measurements were performed with both instruments to avoid repeatability biases under controlled environmental conditions.
