Yes sure. So the reading error isn't 0.1 that I thought? :nb)

Well yes possibly then we suppose we have no systematic error. Generally the devices were in pretty bad situation so the professor told us to consider the error 5%. So should I add the reading error (+0.1 to all errors)? That makes sense to me.

What do you mean by independent on each reading? 5% of each reading? The minimum value is 0 and the maximum 47.5. So the bigger the reading the bigger the error? For example what is the error when the reading is 0?

Edited the post. The professor said that the error is 5%, nothing more and now I can't figure it out.

Homework Statement For my lab report I am asked to calculate the error of a couple of measurements which I did with a lux meter. I know that the lux meter has tolerance(or accuracy?) 5%. The instrument is digital and it's last digit is 0.1. The maximum reading is 47.5 lux. Homework Equations ...
