Write these measurements down in a table in your notebook. Determine the average of these measurements Determine the level of inaccuracy Nowmeasure 10 times the time that light B takes to change colour. Write these measurements down in a second table. Determine the level of accuracy Correct the averagewith the inaccuracy level of A A B 5 seconds ?? How long does traffic light B take? 6.5 seconds
