Resistance Challenge

I have results from an experiment.

It is an investigation of a material that can reasonably be expected to obey Ohm’s law.

I have a challenge for you …

What is the best estimate for the resistance of this material?

It seems like a fairly trivial problem to solve, but whenever I ask this question in workshops I get a variety of answers.

Please also think about the degree of precision to which you can quote the answer, and ideally qualify the answer with the standard error of the estimate.
