Errors of direct measurement
Errors of direct measurements are defined as , (2.11) if there is one measurement (n = 1). And , (2.12) if there are several measurements (n > 1). In these equations t¥ is Student's constant, it may be defined from the table on the crossing of line with n and column with a; d is error of an instrument; v is error of count, v =d/2. For example: the length of a body was measured three times:
The error of this measurement will be: The relative error is . The final result is x = (13.3 + 0.5) mm, a= 0.7, E = 3.6 %.
