5) Itis very unlikely that every other student looking at your data would measure exactly the same value of the time constant that you did, even though they were just as careful as you were. Take a minute and reflect: What do you think is the single biggest reason for this? Next, think about the following question: "Given the fact that different people will get slightly different time constants using the same data, and that all are equally valid estimates of the true time constant, how can you report your estimate of the time constant in a way that includes this measurement uncertainty?" Brainstorm one or two ideas as to how you can report your time constant with some measurement of uncertainty. Don't worry if you are unsure, we will discuss this more in class
