The mean yield from process A is estimated to be 80 ± 5,
Chapter 3, Problem 16SE(choose chapter or problem)
The mean yield from process \(A\) is estimated to be \(80 \pm 5\), where the units are percent of a theoretical maximum. The mean yield from process \(B\) is estimated to be \(90 \pm 3\). The relative increase obtained from process \(B\) is therefore estimated to be (90 − 80)/80 = 0.125. Find the uncertainty in this estimate.
