Question

A laser range finder is able to compute a distance up to 3 km with an accuracy of 99.5%. What possible error is there in a reported measurement of 2500 meters?

Answer 1

99.5% accuracy = .5% error. .5% x 2500 =12.5meters

Answer 2

Well the laser tracker that I wrote the maintenance Manuel ,with a Cesium time standard could range on a satellite at 12,000 kilometers had an accuracy of 10 cm. the length of a king cigarette. most of that error was between stations Cesium time standard. The Cesium clock we had was calculated to 1.6 parts in 1times ten to The 14th.
Good luck and study hard the field is wide open

Answer 3

99.5% accuracy = .5% error. .5% x 2500 =12.5meters
