Question

a) Is round-off error always uniformly distributed?

b) What distribution would one use to model the total error incurred from rounding-off the volumes of multiple bottles of a chemical to the nearest whole number? Possible choices include bernoulli, binomial, uniform, exponential, poisson, pareto, normal

Answer 1

a)The round off errors when measuring the distance that a long jumper has jumped is uniformly distributed
between 0 and 5.5 mm. Round values to 4 decimal places when possible.
a. The mean of this distribution is b. The standard deviation is c. The probability that
the round off error for a jumper’s distance is exactly 2.1 is P(x = 2.1) = d. The probability that the
round off error for the distance that a long jumper has jumped is between 0 and 5.5 mm is P(1.7 < x < 4.5)
