How to combine errors
How to combine errors Robin Hogan June 2006 1 What is an “error”? All measurements have uncertainties that need to be communicated along with the measurement itself. Suppose we make a measurement of temperature, Tˆ, but the “true” temperature is T. In this case our instan-

For example, two students measured the melting point temperature of ice and obtain results of -0.3˚C and 0.8˚C. Without an estimate of error, we cannot say whether these measurements agree. Suppose the results had been stated with errors: T melt = -0.3 ± 1.0˚C and T melt
