Compounded Uncertainty calculation method ∆R = (Ω) ∆v/V +∆I/I )R Q.1 There is visible difference in calculated and measured values, this still comes under normal and acceptable margins of error or if we consider 95% confidence interval method used in Statistics. Q.2 The resistor D the first one show closest to the measured R compare to others Resistors. Q.3 Since we are technological advance I presume electronic instruments are more accurate.
