Question

By throwing a dart at a target, one get the following 15 set of numbers (input it as one list

only on your calculator), showing the displacement from the center in cm:

 

2.1970, 3.5952, 1.6856, 0.9327, 0.2176, 13.1885, 1.7347, 1.9638,

2.3582, 1.1870, 0.0057, 1.4206, 1.2499, 1.9973, 1.8797

 

7. Using your calculator in statistic mode calculate the mean, error, standard deviation and uncertainty for this experiment (remember to write the units too). 

 

Mean = 2.3753867cm 

35.6308/15=2.3753867

 

Error = 1.318885372

1.64x3.114647/√15 = 1.318885372

Standard deviation = 3.1114647cm

√135.8144/15-1=√9.701027

 

Uncertainty =

2.3753867+or-1.318885372

 

1.056502228 or 3.694272072

How can one improve precision and accuracy, having only the above list?
