    I was nervous when I saw equations like this come up in my physics 1 lab so I stopped and came to UA-cam. This video made it look very easy! Thank you for this great explanation!

    Thank you for the informative video, If the equipment errors is larger than the standard deviation? how do we write the uncertainty value for the final results?

    One of the best illustrations i have ever seen for explaining uncertainty.
    Keep up .

    Hello is this as per NABL guidelines ? and what is the difference between Standard Deviation, Uncertainty, Acceptable error and Tolerance ? In this video you explained uncertainty for 3.40 is ±0.4 is this also the acceptable error limit. I also want a clarification on all this parameters. Thanking you, Awaiting for your reply.

      Hi Prakhar,
      Thank you for asking. The information in this video meets no industry standards criteria. It is video I used for educational purposes. Please consult the appropriate industry standards for their standards.

  • @kandpalpreeti1

    Yes. nice explanation but it think it should be in a range of 3.40 - 3.48 (as it is +- 0.04 and 3.44 is the average value)

    • @CALettsomePhDPE
      @CALettsomePhDPE  5 років тому +4

      You are correct. When I first posted the video I used a UA-cam feature to add a note about the incorrect range and I corrected it then. However since then UA-cam has discontinued that feature feature. I found an alternative way to add a note to add a note to that section of the video. Thanks for your comments.

    Is there a difference between standard uncertainty and uncertainty or are they the same thing

  • @awadibrahim2785

      @@CALettsomePhDPE Uncertainty and std are not the same thing: Uncertainty takes into account the std deviation and not the other way around. which means they are directly related, but they are not the same. I work with wind conditions and when calculation the uncertainty of measurements you need to take into account, the range of the measurement equipment, the std of the samples recorded, etc.
      Hope that helps, surprised you considered those are the same.

  • @mohamedgamal7600

    Dear, shouldn't we write the final answer as 3.4 instead of 3.44 since the uncertainty has one sig fig. ?

    • @elenabal4885
      @elenabal4885 7 років тому

      No, the result and the uncertainty should have equal number of decimal places: 3.44 +/- 0.04. Another examples: 5.3+/-0.2 ; 5.300 +/- 0.225

      Hi AC7plays,
      Thank you for asking. Unfortunately I am not doing any tutoring. There may be other videos on UA-cam that maybe able to help you do so.
      Good Luck!
