Another way to write the error interval (mostly used in physics, where measuring instruments are used) is by adding and subtracting the precision of the instrument. For example, if we measure a temperature of , and the thermometer’s precision is , we will write that the temperature is Write the error interval of this measurement, using the inequality notation.
