Pressure distribution measurements are made on a two-dimensional wing model placed in a wind tunnel. The difference between the static pressure sockets on the surface and the static pressure of the free stream is measured. 30 data is taken at each measurement point. The average of the values measured from one of the sockets near the trailing edge was calculated as 2.30 Pa, and the standard deviation was calculated as 2.65 Pa. After applying the Chauvenet criterion to these measurement values, it was decided to eliminate 3 measurements and the new mean value was found to be 2.18 Pa and the standard deviation was 2.42. It was verified that the unexcluded data fit the normal distribution curve. Data above how many Pa and below how many Pa were eliminated? Estimate how many data have negative value (?<0) after elimination.
We wish to measure a characteristic of a machined part whose nominal size is 50 mm at 20 °C. For this, two different instruments are used; an analog micrometer and a digital vernier caliper, both recently calibrated and with the same resolution (0.01 mm). The calibration certificate data of the analog micrometer and the digital vernier are shown in tables 5 and 6 respectively. In both cases the calibration uncertainty does not include the contribution of resolution uncertainty. Additionally, there are drift studies for both instruments and it is established that the drift of the micrometer is ± 0.002 mm while the drift of the vernier is ± 0.02 mm.
The same number of measurements were performed with both instruments to avoid repeatability biases under controlled environmental conditions. Table 7 shows the results of the measurements of both instruments. The temperature of the piece was monitored with a digital thermometer whose calibration uncertainty is 0.1 °C, which already includes…
