An orifice meter is used to measure the volume flow rate in a pipe. It takes 12 readings (in m3/s): 0.0182, 0.0188, 0.0179, 0.0183, 0.0182, 0.0176, 0.0191, 0.0185, 0.0184, 0.0180, 0.0178, and 0.0186....

An orifice meter is used to measure the volume flow rate in a pipe. It takes 12 readings (in m3/s):
0.0182, 0.0188, 0.0179, 0.0183, 0.0182, 0.0176, 0.0191, 0.0185, 0.0184, 0.0180, 0.0178, and 0.0186.
The true volume flow rate is 0.017920 m3/s.
(a) Estimate the bias error (also called the systematic error) of the instrument.
(b) For each reading, estimate the accuracy error (inaccuracy).
(c) For each reading, estimate the precision error.
(d) Calculate the sum of all the inaccuracies and the sum of all the precision errors. Can you find some
significance to these sums? Discuss.
(e) Calculate the mean bias error of all the readings as a percentage.
