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?
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.
