Refer to Exercise 16. Assume that T0 = 73.1 ± 0.1°F, Ta = 37.5 ± 0.2°F, k = 0.032 min−1 with negligible uncertainty, and T = 50°F exactly. Estimate t, and find the relative uncertainty in the estimate.
A severe storm has an average peak wave height of u=16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore. Suppose that a reading of 38 waves showed an average weight height of x=16.9 feet. Previous studies of severe storms indicate that o=3.5 feet. Does this information suggest that the storm is increasing above the severe rating? Use a=0.01
