A surveying instructor sent out 6 groups of students to measure a distance between two points marked on the ground. The students came up with the following six different values: 250.25, 250.15, 249.90, 251.04, 250.50, and 251.22 meters. Assuming these values are equally reliable and that variations result from accidental errors, determine the most probable value of the distance measured.

The solutions andanswers should have minimum of 3 decimals for linear measurements and should be in DegreeMinute-Seconds (2 decimals for seconds) for angular measurement, if not whole number. A surveying instructor sent out five groups of students to measure a distance between two points marked on the ground. The students came up with the following measurement values: 100.81m, 100.62m, 100.73m, 100.76m, and 100.69m. Assuming these values are equally reliable and that variations result from accidental errors, determine the most probable value of the distance measurement.

Probable Error - a. b. Example 2 PLANE SURVEYING SU1200 ASSIGNMENT 1 1. The sides of a closed figure have been measured and found to have a total length of 1018.910 m. If the error in the measurement is estimated to be 0.073 m, what is the accuracy ratio of the work? 2. A random error of ± 0.004 m is estimated for each of 22 length measurements (which are to be added together to get the total length). what is the estimated total error? what is the probable total error if the random error is ± 0.006 m per length? 3. A surveying crew or party is capable of taping distances with an estimated probable error of ± 0.005 for each 30.000 m distance. What estimated total error should be expected if a distance of 1400 m is measured? 4. It is desired to tape a distance of 360 m with a total estimated probable error of not more than ± 0.006 m. a. How accurately should 30.000 m distance be measured so that the permissible value is not exceeded? b. How accurately should each 30.000 m distance have…
The length of a line was measured repeatedly on three different occasions and probable error of each mean value was computed with the following results: 1st set of measurement= 1202.50±0.03?, 2nd set of measurement= 1202.75±0.05? , 3rd set of measurement= 1202.85±0.08?. Determine the weighted mean of the three sets of measurements.
The following values were determined in a series of a tape measurements of a line: 1000.58,1000.40, 1000.38,1000.48, 1000.40 and 1000.46 meters. Assume these values are equally reliable and their variations result only from accidental error. Which of the following most nearly gives the probable error of a single measurement and probable error of the mean?
