A surveying instructor sent out six 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 (a) most probable value of the distance measured, (b) probable error of a single measurement and (c) probable error of

A surveying instructor sent all the 40 students in his class out to measure a distance between two points marked ona runway. The students working in groups of four came up with 10 different measurements as follows: 922.11, 921.24, 921.86, 920.99, 922.59, 922.15, 922.33, 922.11, 920.22, and 920.01meters. Assuming these values are equally reliable and that variations result only from accidental errors, determine the relative precision of a single measurement and the relative precision of the mean.
