- Abstract:
- In this paper the statistical properties of midrange as estimator of measured value, for the samples of varying number of observations taken from a population of uniform distribution, were examined by the Monte Carlo simulation. The midrange of such samples had a smaller standard deviation than the mean value recommended by the Guide GUM (Fig. 1). A distribution similar to Student’s t-distribution and an expanded uncertainty were also calculated for such samples (chapters 3 and 4). In chapter 5 it was found that for samples from the general population of Flatten-Gaussian distribution, with increasing share of the normal distribution, the advantage of midrange quickly decreased. Considerations have been illustrated by figures. Final conclusions have been enclosed.
