ISA tips 2013
Here is the checklist and the uncertainties guide
AQA world ISA guide to calculating uncertainty
- Is the variable independent (you change it) or dependent (several values and a mean)?
- For independent variable, uncertainty is + or – smallest measurement on instrument
- For dependent, plus or minus half the range,
- Percentage uncertainty independent is precision / value then x 100%
- Percentage uncertainty dependent is 0.5 x range / mean then x 100%
- For percentage uncertainty of a calculated value, find the total percentage uncertainty by adding the parts of each calculation together
