A seized drug analyst who performs weight measurements wants to estimate the uncertainty on the readability of a two-place balance. As per manufacturer specifications, the readability limit is set to 0.01g. While initially she wants to consider a rectangular distribution, based on her experience she thinks that the most part of the readings tend to cluster toward the center of the distribution rather than exhibiting a uniform spread within the limits. Consequently, she assumes a triangular distribution. What is the standard uncertainty? 0.0020; 0.0041; 0.0058; 0.0030.
