Data analysis
a) = = 4.95 /
b) If we quadruple the number of measurements N, we find the standard deviation 4 for the calculated
average:
,4 = ,
The standard deviation of the average depends on the number of points used to calculate the average
itself. It has nothing to do with how often we repeat this.
d) The standard deviation of the averages ,3 , for a sampling frequency which is two times smaller
and the acquisition period of , will be:
=
2
= = 2 = 0.5 /
Fidelity (precision) is expressed as the statistical error according to the chosen confidence level for
. associated with 0 and 1 :
,0 = = 0.15 ,1 = 2 = 0.3
The statistical error ,2 for 2 is calculated according to the table of the normal distribution:
