Given is the following linear equation system: 1) 6x-3y=-3.00 2) -2y+1.5z=4.00 3) 2x-5z=-5.00 4) 1.5x-y+2z=0.80 5) -1.5x+y+3.5z=2.10 In order to find the most probable values for the unknowns, one would need to perform a Least Squares adjustment. Determine some of the characteristics of this Least Squares adjustment as follows: a)  Number of unknowns: b) Number of residuals: c) Number of normal equations: d) Degrees of freedom:
