Most Probable Value given Residual Error Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Most Probable Value = Observed Value-Residual Error
MPV = x-r
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Most Probable Value - Most probable value of a quantity is the one which has more chances of being true than has any other. It is deduced from the several measurements on which it is based.
Observed Value - Observed value is the value which the observer notes during surveying.
Residual Error - Residual error is the difference between the most probable value of a quantity and its observed value.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Observed Value: 159 --> No Conversion Required
Residual Error: 80 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

MPV = x-r --> 159-80

Evaluating ... ...

MPV = 79

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

79 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

79 <-- Most Probable Value

Standard Error of Function where variables are Subjected to Addition

Go Standard Error in Function = sqrt(Standard Error in x coordinate^2+Standard Error in y coordinate^2+Standard Error in z coordinate^2)

Most Probable Value with Different Weightage

Go Most Probable Value = add(Weightage*Measured Quantity)/add(Weightage)

Standard Deviation of Weighted Observations

Go Weighted Standard Deviation = sqrt(Sum of Weighted Residual Variation/(Number of Observations-1))

Standard Deviation used for Survey Errors

Go Standard Deviation = sqrt(Sum of Square of Residual Variation/(Number of Observations-1))

Mean Error given Specified Error of Single Measurement

Go Error of Mean = Specified Error of a Single Measurement/(sqrt(Number of Observations))

Standard Error of Mean of Weighted Observations

Go Standard Error of Mean = Weighted Standard Deviation/sqrt(Sum of Weightage)

Probable Error of Mean

Go Probable Mean of Error = Probable Error in Single Measurement/(Number of Observations^0.5)

Variance of Observations

Go Variance = Sum of Square of Residual Variation/(Number of Observations-1)

Mean Error given Sum of Errors

Go Error of Mean = Sum of Errors of Observations/Number of Observations

Most Probable Value with Same Weightage for Observations

Go Most Probable Value = Sum of Observed Values/Number of Observations

Residual Variation given Most Probable Value

Go Residual Variation = Measured Value-Most Probable Value

Most Probable Value given Residual Error

Go Most Probable Value = Observed Value-Residual Error

Observed Value given Residual Error

Go Observed Value = Residual Error+Most Probable Value

Residual Error

Go Residual Error = Observed Value-Most Probable Value

Observed Value given Relative Error

Go Observed Value = True Error/Relative Error

True Error given Relative Error

Go True Error = Relative Error*Observed Value

Relative Error

Go Relative Error = True Error/Observed Value

Observed Value given True Error

Go Observed Value = True Value-True Error

True Value given True Error

Go True Value = True Error+Observed Value

True Error

Go True Error = True Value-Observed Value

Most Probable Error given Standard Deviation

Go Most Probable Error = 0.6745*Standard Deviation

Most Probable Value given Residual Error Formula

Most Probable Value = Observed Value-Residual Error
MPV = x-r

What is Residual Error?

Residual error is the difference between the actual response given by a survey participant and the response that was expected based on the statistical model used for analysis.
