Question 1)

a) What are the Spreadsheet Skills and Measurement Uncertainties experiment theory? (Explain in 300 Words)

b)What are the errors that are possible in a Spreadsheet Skills and Measurement Uncertainties experiment?

Answer 1

A spreadsheet is a tool that organises, arranges, and calculates data. Spreadsheets are valuable because they use data and formulas to calculate values within the rows and columns of the spreadsheet itself.

Spreadsheets allow businesses to function efficiently by ensuring rapid data analysis and visualisation. They prevent users from having to calculate data themselves, making employees much more productive.

The value of a physical quantity obtained as a result of a measurement has a
degree of uncertainty, due to unavoidable errors, of which one can recognize
the source but never establish the exact magnitude. The uncertainty due to
so called statistical errors is usually treated using the frequentistic concept of
confidence intervals, although the procedure is rather unnatural and there are
known cases (of great relevance in frontier research) in which this approach
is not applicable. On the other hand, there is no way, within this frame, to
handle uncertainties due to systematic errors in a consistent way.
