The ratio between calculated and measured deflections has an average of 0.69 (with a standard deviation of 0.22).  The number used for the Young's modulus of the ABS plastic was 2.0 GPa.  Since measured deflections were consistently higher than calculated (by a factor of 0.69) a Young's modulus of 2*0.69=1.38 GPa would be more accurate.

The ratio between calculated and measured deflections has an average of 0.69 (with a standard deviation of 0.22). The number used for the Young's modulus of the ABS plastic was 2.0 GPa. Since measured deflections were consistently higher than calculated (by a factor of 0.69) a Young's modulus of 2*0.69=1.38 GPa would be more accurate.
