Question: Consider the least-squares problem in Figure 4-11. (a) Suppose that a single new measurement produces a y value of 2.58. Find the corresponding x value

Consider the least-squares problem in Figure 4-11.

(a) Suppose that a single new measurement produces a y value of 2.58. Find the corresponding x value and its uncertainty.

(b) Suppose you measure y four times and the average is 2.58. Calculate the uncertainty based on four measurements, not one.


Figure 4-11

Vertical (X; V) deviation- = Yi-y Ay Ax 3 Slope Ay = m Ax y = mx + b Intercept = b 1 3 6. 4, LO 4.

Vertical (X; V) deviation- = Yi-y Ay Ax 3 Slope Ay = m Ax y = mx + b Intercept = b 1 3 6. 4, LO 4.
