If you have four instruments used to measure a temperature of 50.02 C inside the factory. However, the instruments gave different readings for different trials as follows: Instrument 1 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 51 49 Instrument 2 49 49 49 49 49 49 | 49 49 49 Instrument 3 48.01 48.03 49.02 | 49.01 50.00 48.02 47.09 47.05 47.80 Instrument 4 17.01 17.02 17.09 17.03 17.01 17.03 15.09 19.02 17.00 1. Define the resolution of an instrument. 2. Define the sensitivity of an instrument, then explain how the sensitivity of an instrument can be calculated. 3. Define the accuracy of an instrument system and explain using your own words how the accuracies of different instruments are compared. 4. Define the precision of an instrument system and explain using your own words how the precisions for different instruments are compared.

A new electronic component for aircraft is tested to withstand temperatures as low as -50°F. One engineer suggests that the device cannot actually stand temperatures that low. What are the Type I and Type II errors? Type I: The device CAN NOT withstand temperatures as low as -50F but the engineer incorrectly finds that it CAN.Type II: The device CAN withstand temperatures as low as -50F but the engineer incorrectly finds that it CAN NOT. Type I: The device CAN withstand temperatures as low as -50F but the engineer incorrectly finds that it CAN NOT.Type II: The device CAN NOT withstand temperatures as low as -50F but the engineer incorrectly finds that it CAN. Is the answer the first or second bullet point?
Cages used for supporting bearings in an aero engine have been tested under simulatedoperating conditions. Failures of these bearing cages were recorded after the followingengine running hours:1420, 940, 2620, 705, 360, 1185, 1410, 1950, 2730, 2050, 525, 1465, 925.The total number of bearing cages tested was 64. The remaining 51 cages did not fail bythe time the tests were stopped at 2730 hours. Determine:(a) the minimum life.(b) the characteristic life (after the minimum life), to the nearest 100 hours*.(c) the shape factor. From this, comment on the nature of the failure of these bearing cages.
