Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.139 Computational and Data Driven Physics skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A team wants to claim that a simulation model is supported by experiment. Which workflow gives the strongest evidence?
AAdjust the model after every trial until it matches one data point exactly.
BHide uncertainty intervals so the graph appears simpler.
CUse only the data set that gives the preferred answer.
DMake a prediction before seeing the test data, collect independent measurements, compare with uncertainty, and inspect residuals.
Solution & Explanation:A strong model test uses independent data and pre-specified predictions, then compares results using uncertainty and residual patterns. Tuning to one data point is much weaker evidence.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Use the residual plot for a calibrated sensor model. All residuals are within their uncertainty bars, but nearly all are positive. What should the analyst consider?
AThe model is perfect because no single point fails its uncertainty bar.
BThe data must be random because every residual is positive.
CA small systematic bias may remain even though individual residuals are within uncertainty.
DUncertainty bars cannot be used with residual plots.
Solution & Explanation:Individual agreement is not the only criterion. A consistent sign pattern across many residuals can indicate a remaining systematic offset.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
Use the grid-independence table. The measured uncertainty in the target quantity is 0.03 units. What conclusion is best?
AThe coarsest grid is best because it runs fastest.
BThe simulation is not yet grid-independent because refinement still changes the result by more than the measurement uncertainty.
CGrid independence is proven as soon as two grids are tested.
DThe measured uncertainty should be ignored when judging convergence.
Solution & Explanation:The result changes from 1.14 to 1.08 to 1.04 as the grid is refined. The 0.04 change between the last two rows exceeds the 0.03 measurement uncertainty, so more refinement or uncertainty accounting is needed.
