The following data represent 21 electronically measured distance observations. 485.62 485.62 485.63 485.59 485.66 485.62 485.61 485.59 485.62 485.65 485.64 485.65 485.61 485.64 485.62 485.64 485.64 485.61 485.68 485.61 485.63 d) If the manufacturer's specifications for this instrument indicates that a distance of this length should have a variance of 0.000025, is the precision of the instrument meeting the specifications at a 95% level of confidence?

In a vernier callipers with no zero error, 7th division of main scale coincides with 10th division of vernier scale when nothing is kept between the calipers (Take 1 MSD = 1mm) When a rod of length , is kept between the calipers, it is found that zero of the vernier lies between the 9th and 10th divisions of main scale and 4th division of the vernier coincides with 12th division of main scale. 1) 2) 3) Least count = 0.3mm 4) vernier constant = 0.3mm
