Homework Statement
Estimate the absolute and relative standard deviations of the following calculations. The number in parentheses is the standard deviation of the preceding value.
a) z=5.64(s=0.14)*log(138)(s=3)
Homework Equations
Sx/x =SQRT((Sp/P)2+(Sq/q)2+(Sr/R)2
Sx=0.434(Sp/P)
The Attempt at a Solution
I thought of two ways to go about the problem I am not sure which way is correct here are both attempts:
log(138)= 2.139
Z=12.069
SZ=SQRT((0.14/5.64)2+(3.0/2.139)2)=1.40
Z=12.07 [tex]\pm[/tex]1.40
RSD=(1.4/12.07)*100 =11.6%
Or my other attempt:
Z=12.07
(0.14/5.64)2+(0.434*(3.0/138))=0.01
Z=12.07[tex]\pm[/tex]0.01
RSD=(0.01/12.07)*100=0.08%
Are either of these ways correct? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
