The mass of a solid hemisphere is measured once with a digital balance whose resolution is 1 g. The result is m = 50 g. With a caliper, the resolution of which is 0.05 mm, repeated measurements of the diameter D of the hemisphere are carried out. The values ​​obtained for D: 100.30 mm; 100.00 mm; 100.60 mm; 100.10 mm; 100.25 mm; 100.50 mm; 100.40 mm; 100.20 mm; 100.30 mm; 100.35 mm. Knowing that the standard deviation of the set of diameter values ​​is 0.18 mm, the result of measuring the diameter d is: (a) (1002.30 ± 0.05) mm (b) (100.300 ± 0.029) mm (c) (100.30 ± 0.18) mm (d)(100.300 ± 0.057) mm

Question

The mass of a solid hemisphere is measured once with a digital balance whose resolution is 1 g. The result is m = 50 g. With a caliper, the resolution of which is 0.05 mm, repeated measurements of the diameter D of the hemisphere are carried out. The values ​​obtained for D: 100.30 mm; 100.00 mm; 100.60 mm; 100.10 mm; 100.25 mm; 100.50 mm; 100.40 mm; 100.20 mm; 100.30 mm; 100.35 mm. Knowing that the standard deviation of the set of diameter values ​​is 0.18 mm, the result of measuring the diameter d is:

(a) (1002.30 ± 0.05) mm

(b) (100.300 ± 0.029) mm

(c) (100.30 ± 0.18) mm

(d)(100.300 ± 0.057) mm
