a theoretical value of 4:8cm, that’s easy to tell; if I ask whether 5cm with a relative uncertainty of 0:2 agrees with the same theoretical value, that’s not nearly as obvious. As such, when you state a quantity in your lab report, it should typically be written X ˙ X - that is to say, you talk about uncertainties with the absolute
