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 the mean Aug 31, 2022
