Suppose you figured resistance of a color-coded resistor is 100 ± 5 ohms. You did the Ohms law experiment and measured resistance of the same resistor. You found the measured value is 92 ± 4 ohms. How would you compare the two values? Choose all that are correct. Group of answer choices I will find the percent difference between 100 and 92 ohsm and conclude that they are different I will look at the range of both, such as 100-5 = 95 and 94+4=98. Since the numbers are different, I conclude that they are different within uncertainty I will look at the range of both, such as 100-5 = 95 and 94+4=98. Since the ranges overlap, I can conclude that they are the same within uncertainty. I will draw a dot and whisker plot for both. Since they overlap, I can conclude that they are the same within uncertaitny

Answer:

* I will look at the range of both, such as 100-5 = 95 and 94+4=98. Since the ranges overlap, I can conclude that they are the same within uncertainty.

* I willl draw a dot-and-whisker plot for both. Since they overlap, I can conclude that they are equal within the uncertainty

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of all physical measurement has an uncertainty, so it is within a range of values, in this case we must compare the range of values ​​of the resistors

The nominal value is 100 ± 5 Ω

therefore its range of possible values ​​is between

95 <= R <= 105

For the experimentally measured value

88 <= R <= 96

as the values ​​overlap we must conclude that they are the same.

When reviewing the different options we have two statements that are correct

* I will look at the range of both, such as 100-5 = 95 and 94+4=98. Since the ranges overlap, I can conclude that they are the same within uncertainty.

* I willl draw a dot-and-whisker plot for both. Since they overlap, I can conclude that they are equal within the uncertainty
