What is a random variable?
Think of examples in real life where measurements change.
Define uncertainty in the context of measurements.
Consider factors that affect the accuracy of measurements.
What is a random variable?
Consider how values change in different scenarios.
True or False: Uncertainty indicates that a measurement is entirely inaccurate.
Think about the difference between many readings and a single flawed one.
You are monitoring strain in a new bridge. Given the following strain readings: 2, 3, 3, 1, 10, 2, considering the IQR method, identify if any data points are outliers.
Find the quartiles and calculate the IQR.
An experimental torque measurement shows a range from 15 to 100 Nm with an average of 57.5 Nm. The standard deviation is 20 Nm. Discuss the implications of uncertainty in operational decisions.
Consider how variability affects safety and reliability.
