The following arbitrary measurements are made and the errors sited are the aximum errors A = 15.21 +0.01, B = 10.82 +0.05, C = 11.00+ 0.03. If D= A + B + C; (a) Calculate the maximum error in D. (b) if the errors sited are standard errors, calculate the standard error in D.​

Maximum error in the result of the sum of measurement is equal to the sum absolute error of the individual observed measurements

(a) The maximum error in D is 0.09

(b) The standard error in D is approximately 0.034

The procedure for arriving at the above values is as follows;

The given measurements and the sited errors are;

A = 15.21 + 0.01

B = 10.82 + 0.05

C = 11.00 + 0.03

D = A + B + C

(a) Required parameter;

To calculate the maximum error in D

The equation for the propagation of error in addition is presented as follows;

Given that we have;

x = a + b

Therefore;

x + ±Δx = (a ± Δa) + (b ± Δb) = a + b ± (Δa + Δb)

∴ Δx = Δa + Δb

From the above formula, we have;

Where;

D = A + B + C

The maximum error in D = The sum of the maximum error in A, B, C

∴ The maximum error in D = 0.01 + 0.05 + 0.03 = 0.09

(b) Required parameter:

To find the standard error in D

The standard error is the sampling distribution's standard deviation, SD

Variance = SD²

The combined variance, SD² = The sum of the squares of individual standard deviations

Given that the standard errors represents the standard deviation, we get;

The combined variance, SD² = 0.01² + 0.05² + 0.03²

The combined variance, SD = √(0.01² + 0.05² + 0.03²) = 0.059

Where n = 3, for the three measurement, we get;

The standard error in D is approximately 0.034

the skeletons of most mammals reach a certain size and then stop growing. however, many animals, including some mammals, keep growing throughout their lives. kangaroos, for example, just keep growing and growing until they die. also, the longer an animal lives the greater the chance it might catch some deadly disease.
