um well when calculating percentage uncertainty, make sure u have to values..like for d, they not gonna tell u to repeat so u hv to do that.. u subtract the lowest from the lowest...this gives u a range.. u take that and divide by average d x 100.. hope that helped

% uncertainty is the ratio of uncertainty to measured value

There is always some uncertainty in measurement (OL); the uncertainty being due to the fact that the measurement is never exactly the value given by the instrument, plus the fact that usually measurements fall between two of the smallest defined values on a scale. As such, the formula for % uncertainty is thus:

uncertainty = +/- value of smallest division / 2

% uncertainty = (uncertainty / measurement) x 100%

That answer your question?
