1. The angles about a point Q have the following observed
values 130°15’20”, 142°37’30”, and 87°07’40”. Determine the
most probable value of each angle.
2. The observed interior angles of a triangle are A =
35°14’37”, B = 96°30’09”, and C = 48°15’05”. Determine the
discrepancy for the given observation and the most probable
value of each angle.
3. Four measurements of a distance were recorded as 284.18,
284.19, 284.22, and 284.20 meters and given weights of 1, 3,
2, and 4, respectively. Determine the weighted mean.
4. It is desired to determine the most probable value of an
angle which has been measured at different times by
different observers with equal care. The values observed
were as follows: 74°39’45” (in two measurements), 74°39’27”
(in four measurements), and 74°39’35” (in six measurements).
5. . Lines of levels to establish the elevation of a point are
run over four different routes. The observed elevations of
the point with probable errors are given below. Determine
the most probable value of the elevation of the point.

6. The interior angles A, B, and C of a triangular traverse

were measured with same precision. The results were as
follows:

1. A 60m line XY on a level ground, was paced by a surveying
student for the purpose of determining his pace factor. The
number of paces for each trial is as follows: 73, 72, 72.5,
74, 73.5,72 and 73 paces. Determine his pace factor. If the
student then took 112, 111, 112.5, and 113 paces on an
unknown distance AB, what is the length of the line?
2. In five trials of walking along a 100m course, a pacer
counted 50, 53, 52, 53, and 50 strides. Determine the pace
factor of the pacer.
