Suppose that a line has been observed 10 times using the same equipment and procedures. The results are shown in the following table. It is assumed that no mistakes exist, and that the observations have already been corrected for all systematic errors. Compute the most probable value for the line length, its standard deviation, probable error, and two-sigma error.

The method of least squares is a mathematically exact method. It is the best way of adjusting survey data particularly very precise measurements. This method is employed to simultaneously adjust the angular and linear measurements to make the sum of the squares of the residuals a minimum. It is based on the Select the correct response: • Theory of relativity • Theory of Probability • Skill and accuracy of observation • Principle of actuarial mathematics • Variations and accuracies of adjusted observations and positions
Line AD is observed in three sections AB, BC, and CD, with lengths and standarddeviations as listed below. What is the total length AD and its standard deviation?(a) AB = ±236.57 ± 0.01 ft; BC = 608.99 ± 0.01 ft; CD = 426.87 ± 0.01 ft(b) AB = 688.980 m ± 0.003 m; BC = 1274.865 m ± 0.003 m; CD = 2542.373 m ± 0.005 m
1. A line is measured on a windy day as 338.65 m. The same line measured 338.37 m on a calm day. If the latter measurement is given four times the reliability of the first, determine the most probable value of the measured line 2. In this problem the weight an angle is assumed to be proportional to the number of times it has been measured by repetition. Five angles in a pentagon were measured with the of following results: 134°44’35’’, 167°02'05'’, 86°15’20’’, 75°48’50’’, and 76°08’50’’. If the number of repetitions for each measurement and were 2, 6, 6, 8, and 4, respectively, determine the adjusted values of the angles.
