1. In a lot of n components, 30% are defective. Two components are drawn at random and tested. Let A be the event that the first component drawn is defective,….
Estimate R, and find the relative uncertainty in the estimate.
1. Refer to Exercise 12. Estimate n, and find the relative uncertainty in the estimate, from the following measurements: θ1 = 0.216 ± 0.003 radians and θ2 = 0.456 ± 0.005 radians.
2. Refer to Exercise 14. Assume that l = 10.0 cm ± 0.5% and d = 10.4 cm ± 0.5%.
a. Estimate R, and find the relative uncertainty in the estimate. Does the relative uncertainty depend on k?
b. Assume that either l or d can be remeasured with relative uncertainty 0.2%. Which should be remeasured to provide the greater improvement in the relative uncertainty of the resistance?
3. Refer to Exercise 15. Assume that F = 750 ± 1 N, R = 0.65 ± 0.09 mm, L0 = 23.7 ± 0.2 mm, and L1 = 27.7 ± 0.2 mm. Estimate Y, and find the relative uncertainty in the estimate.
