Evaluate modelling assumptions - depth scenario

A transport map model assumes the measurement interval stays constant. State 1 if that assumption is valid when all intervals are equal, otherwise 0. Enter the requested value and choose the interpretation that matches the result.

Worked practice: result and interpretation

Calculate the requested result first, then choose the interpretation that follows from it.
