Answer the following problems. Show your solution. Use yellow pad/s or long size bond bond paper.

Problem No. 1
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° 35’ 50’’. Determine the most probable value of each of these angles.

Problem No.2
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 10 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.
Assuming these values are equally reliable and that variations result only from accidental errors, determine the
precision of a single measurement. And the relative precision of the mean.

Problem No. 3
Five measurements were made to determine the length of a line and recorded as follows: 350.33, 350.22,
350.30, 350.27, 350.30 meters. If these measurements were given weight of 4, 5, 1, 4, 6 respectively, the most
probable value of the length measure is _.

Problem No. 4
The interior angles of a quadrilateral are as follows:
Angles Value No. Of Measurements
A 92° 2
B 88° 4
C 71° 3
D 110° 6
Find the corrected value of the angles.
