P Give suitable examples as you discuss how errors in surveying activities are classified. The three angles of a triangle were measured using a triangulation scheme, and their mean values were reported as 50° 48′ 18′′, 64° 2036", and 64° 5100".Each of these means has a standard deviation of 4 according to analysis of each set.The angles were measured again at a later time under better lighting, resulting in mean values of 64° 20′ 39", 64° 50' 58", and 50° 48' 20" prime prime Each value's standard deviation was 2 n. Determine the most probable values of the angles
The observe interior angles of the triangle are A= 35°14'37'', B= 96°30'09'', and C= 48°15'05''. Determine the discrepancy for the given observation and the most probable value of each angle.

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?
