The resistance, R, of a resistor was determined by two different methods, A and B. For each method, the measurements were repeated 10 times. The results gave the following values for the mean and the standard error of the mean: method A, RA = (95 ± 8) Ω, method B, RB = (103 ± 2) Ω. It is clear that method B is more precise. How many more measurements are required for method A to be as precise as method B?
Standard error of the mean for method A, SA = 8
Standard error of the mean for method B, SB = 2
Thus, SA = 4SB
Standard error of the mean is inversely proportional to square root number of measurement (or sample size)
Thus, there should be total of = 160 measurements
As measurements were already repeated 10 times, 150 more measurements are required for method A to be as precise as method B

Consider the two methods to measure the resistance of a resistor, as shown in the figures below the two-point probe method and the four-point probe method. Assume that the actual resistance of the resistor is 100 Ω, the resistance of the connecting wires is 10 Ω, the internal resistance of the ammeter is 0 Ω, and the internal resistance of the voltmeter is infinitely large 1) Determine the ammeter reading (it is equal to the current from the power supply)...
