Solve the following problem. Submit it in PDF Form.

PS: Sir, I ran out of bond paper, sorry if I had to use my dotted notebook.

1. Five angles in a pentagon were measured with the following results, 134°44'35",
167°02'05", 86°15'20", 75° 48'50", and 76°08'50" with the corresponding
observations of 2, 6, 6, 8, and 4. Determine the adjusted values of the angles.
2. A line is measured on a windy day as 338.65m. The same line measured
338.37m on a calm day. If the latter measurement is given four times the
reliability of the first, determine the most probable value of the measured line.
3. Two sides of a rectangle were measured as being 226.25m ± 0.03m and
307.28m ± 0.04m. Determine the area of the figure and the probable error of the
area.
4. The four approximately equal sides of a tract of land were measured and the
measurements included the following errors: ±0.085m, ±0.014m, ±0.175m,
and ±0.205m. Determine the probable error for the total perimeter of the tract.
5. A quantity was measured ten times with the following results: 34.630, 34.626, 34.634,
34.628, 34.629, 34.626, 34.627, 34.633, 34.625, and 34.624 meters. Determine the
probable error of the mean and the relative precision.
