The volume of a cylinder is computed from measurements of its height (h) and diameter (d). A set of several measurements of height has an average value of 0.2 m and a standard deviation of 1%. The average value obtained for the diameter is 0.1 m and the standard deviation is 1%. Assuming the errors in the measurements of height and diameter are uncorrelated, the standard deviation of the computed volume is

Two ammeters \(A_1\) and \(A_2\) measure the same current and provide readings \(I_1\) and \(I_2\) respectively. The ammeter errors can be characterized as independent zero mean Gaussian random variables of standard deviations \(\sigma_1\) and \(\sigma_2\), respectively. The value of the current is computed as : \(I = \mu I_1 + (1-\mu) I_2\) The value of \(\mu\) which gives the lowest standard deviation of \(I\) is
