Step 1
“Since you have asked multiple questions, we will solve the first question for you. If you want any specific question to be solved, then please specify the question number or post only that question.”
Step 2
Difference between the calculated value and actual value of a quantity is called error. Difference in true value and individually measured value of a quantity is called absolute error. The mean of the data is termed as mean absolute error. .
Accuracy of a measurement is a measure of how much close the value measured to the actual value of quantity. Precision provides the measuring instrument resolution capability. Smaller least count greater will be the precision.
Let $$a_{1} = 2.75 cm,\ a_{2} = 2.76 cm,\ a_{3} = 2.30 cm$$
Mean value of measurements
$$\overline{a}=\frac{2.75+2.76+2.30}{3}$$
$$\overline{a}=2.60cm$$
Actual measurement is 3.25 cm.
This difference can be due to instrumental error or personal error, it can be due to imperfection in performing the experiment or due to some external causes like temperature, pressure, humidity etc.

A medical technician is trying to determine what percentage of apatient's artery is blocked by plaque. To do this, she measures theblood pressure just before the region of blockage and finds that itis $$\displaystyle{1.20}\times{10}^{{{4}}}{P}{a}$$, while in the region of blockage it is $$\displaystyle{1.15}\times{10}^{{{4}}}{P}{a}$$. Furthermore, she knows that blood flowingthrough the normal artery just before the point of blockage istraveling at 30.0 cm/s, and the specific gravity of this patient'sblood is 1.06. What percentage of the cross-sectional area of thepatient's artery is blocked by the plaque?
As depicted in the applet, Albertine finds herself in a very odd contraption. She sits in a reclining chair, in front of a large, compressed spring. The spring is compressed 5.00 m from its equilibrium position, and a glass sits 19.8m from her outstretched foot.
a)Assuming that Albertine's mass is 60.0kg , what is $$\displaystyle\mu_{{k}}$$, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the waxed floor? Use $$\displaystyle{g}={9.80}\frac{{m}}{{s}^{{2}}}$$ for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Assume that the value of k found in Part A has three significant figures. Note that if you did not assume that k has three significant figures, it would be impossible to get three significant figures for $$\displaystyle\mu_{{k}}$$, since the length scale along the bottom of the applet does not allow you to measure distances to that accuracy with different values of k.

Loretta, who turns eighty this year, has just learned about blood pressure problems in the elderly and is interested in how her blood pressure compares to those of her peers. Specifically, she is interested in her systolic blood pressure, which can be problematic among the elderly. She has uncovered an article in a scientific journal that reports that the mean systolic blood pressure measurement for women over seventy-five is 133.0 mmHg, with a standard deviation of 5.1 mmHg.
Assume that the article reported correct information. Complete the following statements about the distribution of systolic blood pressure measurements for women over seventy-five.
a) According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least $$?36\% 56\% 75\% 84\%\ or\ 89\%$$ of the measurements lie between 122.8 mmHg and 143.2 mmHg.
b) According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least $$8/9 (about\ 89\%)$$ of the measurements lie between mmHg and mmHg. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
The student engineer of a campus radio station wishes to verify the effectivencess of the lightning rod on the antenna mast. The unknown resistance $$\displaystyle{R}_{{x}}$$ is between points C and E. Point E is a "true ground", but is inaccessible for direct measurement because the stratum in which it is located is several meters below Earth's surface. Two identical rods are driven into the ground at A and B, introducing an unknown resistance $$\displaystyle{R}_{{y}}$$. The procedure for finding the unknown resistance $$\displaystyle{R}_{{x}}$$ is as follows. Measure resistance $$\displaystyle{R}_{{1}}$$ between points A and B. Then connect A and B with a heavy conducting wire and measure resistance $$\displaystyle{R}_{{2}}$$ between points A and C.Derive a formula for $$\displaystyle{R}_{{x}}$$ in terms of the observable resistances $$\displaystyle{R}_{{1}}$$ and $$\displaystyle{R}_{{2}}$$. A satisfactory ground resistance would be $$\displaystyle{R}_{{x}}{<}{2.0}$$ Ohms. Is the grounding of the station adequate if measurments give $$\displaystyle{R}_{{1}}={13}{O}{h}{m}{s}$$ and R_2=6.0 Ohms?
