Mid-Term Fall 2022

This document contains a midterm exam for a Measurement and Instrumentation course. The exam has two parts, with Part 1 being multiple choice questions worth 10 marks, and Part 2 being longer form problems worth 15 marks. The exam covers topics like error analysis, calibration, precision, accuracy, and applying statistical analysis techniques like calculating means, standard deviations, and using Chauvenet's criterion to identify outlier data points. The exam is designed to test students' understanding of fundamental measurement concepts and their ability to apply statistical analysis to measurement data.
