Question: ( 6 points ) In using a temperature probe, the following uncertainties were determined: hysteresis 0 . 1 C , linearization error 0 . 2

(6 points) In using a temperature probe, the following uncertainties were determined: hysteresis 0.1C, linearization error 0.2% of the reading, repeatability 0.2C, resolution error 0.005C, zero offset 0.1C. Determine the type of these errors (random or systematic) and the total uncertainty due to these effects for a temperature reading of 120C, assuming random errors have been determined with more than 30 samples each.
