Introduction

Probability and statistics are concerned with events occurring by chance. Examples
include the occurrence of accidents, measurement errors, the release of defective and
non-defective items from the production line, and various games of chance, such as
drawing cards from a mixed deck, flipping a coin, or tossing a symmetry. six-sided die.
In each case, we may have some knowledge of the possible range of possible
outcomes, but we cannot predict with certainty the outcome of any particular trial.
Probability and statistics are used throughout engineering. In electrical engineering,
signals and noise are analyzed by means of probability theory. Civil, mechanical, and
industrial engineers use statistics and probability to test and account for variation in
materials and goods. Chemical engineers use probability and statistics to evaluate
experimental data and control and improve chemical processes. It is important for
today's engineers to master these tools.

Statistical analysis is often performed on very large sample quantities to determine

possible variations in the value of the whole lot. The percentage of the whole lot, which
will fall within a certain range of values, can be predicted fairly accurately from a
statistical analysis of the sample.

In this experiment, our group as technicians in our company will perform a statistical
analysis on the carbon resistor(100Ω). The preferred procedure is worksheet 1(JS01)
DFV30143 – Measurement and Instrumentation. Using the data, we have collected on
Sample 3, and we calculate a measure of central tendency, a measure of the scatter
and construct the appropriate graph using the appropriate application.
Measure Of Central Tendency

a) Resistor Value = 100Ω

b) Total Measured value = 16 Resistor

2. Mode

A mode is defined as the value that has a higher frequency in a given set of
values. It is the value that appears the most number of times.

In our experiment data that we got = No mode
