If Q= a + b + … + c – (x + y + … + z) Then δQ = √(δa)2 + (δb)2 + … + (δc)2 + (δx)2 + (δy)2 + … + (δz)2 Example:Suppose you measure the length of a person from the ground to their waist as 40 inches ± .18 inches. You then measure the length of a person from their waist to the top of their head as 30 inches ± .06 inches. Suppose you then use these tw...
If Q= (ab…c) / (xy…z) Then δQ = |Q| * √(δa/a)2 + (δb/b)2 + … + (δc/c)2 + (δx/x)2 + (δy/y)2 + … + (δz/z)2 Example: Suppose you want to measure the ratio of the length of item a to item b. You measure the length of a to be 20 inches± .34 inches and the length of bto be 15 inches ± .21 inches. The ratio defined as Q = a/b would be calculated as 20/15 ...
If A is known exactly and Q = Ax Then δQ= |A|δx Example: Suppose you measure the diameter of a circle as 5 meters ± 0.3 meters. You then use this value to calculate the circumference of the circle c = πd. The circumference would be calculated as c = πd = π*5 = 15.708. The uncertainty in this estimate would be calculated as: 1. δQ= |A|δx 2. δQ = |π|...
If n is an exact number and Q = xn Then δQ = |Q| * |n| * (δx/x) Example: Suppose you measure the side of a cube to be s = 2 inches ± .02 inches. You then use this value to calculate the volumne of the cube v = s3. The volume would be calculated as v = s3 = 23 = 8 in.3. The uncertainty in this estimate would be calculated as: 1. δQ = |Q| * |n| * (δx...
If Q = Q(x) is any function of xthen the general formula for error propagation can be defined as: δQ = |dQ/dX|δx Note that you’ll rarely have to derive these formulas from scratch, but it can be good to know the general formula used to derive them.
In statistics, propagation of uncertainty (or propagation of error) is the effect of variables' uncertainties (or errors, more specifically random errors) on the uncertainty of a function based on them.
Two types of errors are possible. Systematic error is the result of a mis-calibrated device, or a measuring technique which always makes the measured value larger (or smaller) than the "true" value. An example would be using a steel ruler at liquid nitrogen temperature to measure the length of a rod.

Basic formula for propagation of errors. The formulas derived in this tutorial for each different mathematical operation are based on taking the partial derivative of a function with respect to each variable that has uncertainty. As a base definition let x be a function of at least two other variables, u and v that have uncertainty. x = f (u,v,...)
Aug 27, 2010 · However, in most quantitative measurements, it is necessary to propagate the uncertainty in a measured value through a calibration curve to the final value being sought. The general procedure is quite straight-forward, and is covered in detail in CHEM 222.
