Not every measurement is perfect

Precision error estimate variance decay

Just to show that not all questions behave as nicely as question 9 in the previous post, here is the plot for question 6 in the same exam.The fit is not as good as for question 9. This is expected, there is no reason why the precision error should decay with a perfect exponential behavior. Nonetheless, it still shows a similar decay constant — about six questions.
