(Explain the reason by using/ giving at least one example.)
15. What are the causes for mistakes in a measured quantity?

17. If a tape is found to measure 29.94 m between the 0m mark and the 30m mark

18. If an observe reads are records a value of, say 13.481m when the better value is

19. Suppose that two different taping parties measure the same line four times each
using a different 30m tape. The first party reports the following measurements;
29.800, 29.700, 29.750 and 29.850m. The second party report the following
measurement; 29.420, 29.400, 29.400, and 29.410m. Assume the correct or true
length of the line is 29.720m. From your examination of the spread of the results,
which party’s report is more precise and which party’s report is more accurate.
Why? Explain your reason in detail.
20. Use the following data to solve the questions listed below. Write your conclusion
