Problem 1

problem 1 data

Problem 1 data

This data comes from twenty experiments nominally measuring the same physical quantity. The data for each point is on a single line in the file. The first number on each line is the value of the measured quantity, and the second is the uncertainty in the this measurement.

Problem 2

problem 2 data

Problem 2 data

Data for an experiment in which there is a suspected linear relationship between measured values of $x$ and $y$. The data for each point is on a single line in the file. The first number on each line is the value of $x$, the second is the value of $y$, and the third is the uncertainty in $y$. Uncertainties in $x$ are assumed to be negligible.

Problem 3

problem 2 data

Problem 3 data

For the data in this set, there is reason to believe that that $x$ and $y$ are related by a function of the form $y = a_1 \sin(2\pi x) + a_2\sin(4\pi x)$. The data for each point is on a single line in the file. The first number on each line is the value of $x$, the second is the value of $y$, and the third is the uncertainty in $y$. Uncertainties in $x$ are assumed to be negligible.
