PHY131/121L Pre-Lab: Measurements & Uncertainties Name:
Given the
following one set numbers: please calc the average and the
associated uncertainty. |
||
23.5 24.1 23.9 23.3 |
22.7 23.2 22.5 24.1 |
|
Sx/n +/- dx dx = difference in extreme values / 2
From Appendix C-12 Show step by step procedure to calculate uncertainty in 2 d, e, & f Calculation Uncertainty Part of Calc. |

example ρ = m = m = 6546 ± 30 . V p r2 h p (7.40 ± .1)2 (14.1 ± .3) |

Perform the math ignoring
uncertainty 6546 . = 2.70 g /cc p 7.42
*14.1 2.70 ± (2.7*5.3%) 2.70 ± 0.14 g / cc Or 2.7 ± 0.2 g / cc |
Since there is not a + or -, this is just a one step problem. 30 / 6546 +
2(0.1 / 7.4) + 0.3 / 14.1 = 0. 5 % + 2.7 % + 2.1 % = 5.3% Thus the uncertainty is 5.3% |
