The interior angles of a quadrilateral were observed to be : A = 100° 35’ 40”, B

= 118° 44’ 15”, C = 80° 54’ 35”, and D = 59° 45’ 50”. Determine the most
probable value of each of these angles.

2. 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 relative precision of the mean.

3. A surveying instructor sent all the 40 students in his class out to measure a
distance between two points marked on a runway. The students working in groups
of four came up with ten different measurements as follows: 920.45, 921.05,
921.65, 920.25, 920.15, 921.85, 921.95, 920.45, 921.15, and 921.35 meters.
Assuming these values are equally reliable and that variations result only from
accidental errors, determine the relative precision of a single measurement and the
relative precision of the mean.
