the average width x is 31.19 cm. The deviations are: Observation Width (cm) Deviation (cm) #1 31.33 +0.14 = 31.33 - 31.19 #2 31.15 -0.04 = 31.15 - 31.19 #3 31.26 +0.07 = 31.26 - 31.19 #4 31.02 -0.17 = 31.02 - 31.19 #5 31.20 +0.01 = 31.20 - 31.19 What is the average deviation? 31.5 0.086 cm 0.25 1

John measures the length of one side of his room with a tape measure. He repeats his measurements four times and records them in the table below: Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3 Trial 4 4.50 m 4.60 m 4.30 m 4.40 m Table 1: Recorded distances of one side of John's room. What is the uncertainty in the average measurement? Note: Use the small data set formula for the calculation of the uncertainty in the mean. Multiple Choice 0.080 m 0.15 m 0.30 m
