  • Estimated Uncertainty


    See "Expanded Uncertainty".

  • Expanded Uncertainty


    The quantity defining an interval about the measurement m, that may be expected to encompass a large percentage of the distribution of values (typically 95% or greater) that could reasonably be attributed to the measured value. In the formula below, ks represents the expanded uncertainty.  

    value = m ± ks

    value     = value of the measurement
    m = measurement (or mean of measurements)
    k = coverage factor
    s = standard uncertainty
