Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You measure the length of a tabletop three times and get 120.0 cm, 120.2 cm, and 119.7 cm. What is the average length and the uncertainty associated with this average?

💡 Hint: Calculate the mean and then find the standard deviation to determine uncertainty.

Question 2

You have a weighing scale that consistently gives readings that are 3 grams higher than the true weight. If you measure an object that weighs 50 grams, what is your reported weight?

💡 Hint: Remember, systematic errors should be accounted for in your final reported measurements.
