Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A thermometer consistently reads 2 degrees higher than actual. You take 10 measurements and find a range of 18 to 22 degrees. Discuss the implications of systematic and random errors in your data.

💡 Hint: What is the consequence of mixed errors in reporting findings?

Question 2

In a study examining blood pressure, one device consistently reads 5 mmHg lower (systematic) than another, but repeated measures with the same device show a range from 110 to 130 mmHg (random). Calculate the adjusted averages and discuss reliability.

💡 Hint: How does adjustment affect the analysis of results versus the random variability?
