Explanation:
Measurement made = 100.2 °C
uncertainty = 0.1°C
percent uncertainty = .1 x 100 / 100.2
= .099 %
2 nd thermometer :
Measurement made = 99.0 °C
uncertainty = 0.5°C
percent uncertainty = .5 x 100 / 99
= .505 %
Percent error :
1 st thermometer
Error = 100.2 - 100 = .2 °C
measurement = 100.2
percent error = .2 x 100 / 100.2
= .1996 %
2 nd thermometer
Error = 100.00 - 99 = 1.00 °C
measurement = 99
percent error = 1 x 100 / 99
= 1.01 %
