    The document discusses formulas for calculating the uncertainty or error propagation when values are obtained from calculations involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. For addition and subtraction, the total variance is the sum of the individual variances. For multiplication and division, error is propagated as the squared relative standard deviation. Other useful formulas are also presented but not described in detail.

    Propagation of Error The uncertainty in a value obtained as a result of a calculation is found using the propagation of errors formulas.

    These formula work for indeterminate errors. For addition and subtraction:

    s2 are variance. The total variance is the sum of the individual variance. For multiplication and division:

    In this case error is propagated as the squared relative standard deviation. Other useful formulas are:
