Answer: P = 0.870079 ~~ 0.870 With error propagation: 0.870 +- 0.005 If each stated probability has an uncertainty of 0.01, what is the uncertainty in your result?
Added by Ricardo H.
Step 1
The computed probability is P = 0.870079 ≈ 0.870. Each of the input probabilities p_i entering the calculation has an uncertainty σ_{p_i} = 0.01. Assume the input uncertainties are independent and small so linear (first-order) error propagation applies. Show more…

Refer to Exercise 4.54. Suppose that measurement errors are uniformly distributed between -0.02 to $+0.05 \mu \mathrm{s}$. a. What is the probability that a particular arrival-time measurement will be accurate to within $0.01 \mu \mathrm{s} ?$ b. Find the mean and variance of the measurement errors.
