OBSERVATION:

In this activity, determining the errors in measurement I used the number of trials
in the previous pacing activity as measurements. In the Table 1, the measurements
varied from 35- 39 with most probable value of 36.86. Going through the calculations,
the standard error or the variance was 1.3452, while the standard error of the mean was
0.5084. The error at 50% was 0.9073, the error at 90% was 0.8675, and the error at
95% was 1.2912. However, one of my measurement did meet the required maximum
variance 38.2052 and other one did not also meet the required minimum variance of
35.5148 so I had to make another table and new computations using the measurements
that meet the required minimum and maximum variance.

Same process was made in the Table 2 but with different measurements as it
was taken from the previous activity 2 of pacing. The measurements varied from 26- 29
with the most probable value 27.29. As I made my calculations for the data, it showed
that the standard error or the variance was 1.1127, while the standard error of the mean
was 0.4206.The error at 50% was 0.7505, the error at 90% was 0.7176, and the error at
95% was 1.0681. However, one of the measurements did not meet the required
maximum variance of 28.4027 and two of the measurements did not meet the required
minimum variance of 26.1773 so I made another table and new calculations using the
right measurements that affirms to the maximum and minimum variance.
