A. Can we use statistical tools to quantify uncertainties? Explain. B. Which will give you a more accurate measurement, a ruler or a meter stick? Explain. C. Any measurement has an inherent uncertainty so that when you use it in calculation/s uncertainties will propagate to the result of your calculation/s. Do you agree? Explain your answer.
