I do not understand how to calculate this. Is it the same as finding percent error except you take large value minus small value divide by large value times hundred?

Here is the question on my lab report:

The temperature measurements have a uncertainty of 0.1 degree C. Calculate the percent uncertainty for each value of T H2O.

My T H2O values are 0.2 1.8 1.6

[Bob Sacamano]

It states the uncertainty in each measurement is 0.1.

This means the value you measured is within that value plus or minus 0.1.

For your first T it would be written as 0.2+0.1

They want you to express the second term as a percentage so in this case it would be

0.2+50%

thanks a lot, so 0.2 +-50%, 1.8 +-5.5%, 1.6 +-6.2%

Sorry i do not know how to type the +- sign like you did.
