Hypothesis: Linear Relationship Between F and X: 6.00x - Understanding Experimental Data

The document discusses experimental data and errors. It introduces the concept of a linear relationship between variables F and x. It also discusses that observations equal predictions plus or minus error, and that the accumulation of many small random errors can be modeled by a normal distribution, with the Gaussian model used for observed errors.
