Single Sign-C C) Quiz: Errors and Uncertain Go Canvas Glendale Comm × Porta!Guard m/courses/6775/quizzes/19385/take D Question 4 2 pts You want to weigh your new baby beagle puppy but he is too light for your scale to register. However, it is very important for you to measure his weight as he grows, and you don't want to buy a separate puppy scale. You're a clever Physics student, so you undoubtedly figure out how to get around this: you pick up you puppy and step on the scale and record your combined weight. Then you let your puppy down and weigh yourself alone. The difference between your two weights should correspond to your puppy's weight. What type of uncertainty would represent the uncertainty of the puppy's weight? O "Uncertainties in products and quotients "Measured quantity times exact number" "Uncertainty in a power" Uncertainty in sums and differences

Explanation / Answer

Option 4 is correct, as error in the individual numbers will propagate through subtraction.
