Error PropagationGiven a Formula with an Absolute Error in of , the Absolute Error is . TheRelative Error is . If , then
 | (1) |
so
The definitions of Variance and Covariance then give
so
 | (6) |
If and are uncorrelated, then so
 | (7) |
Now consider addition of quantities with errors.For , and , so
 | (8) |
For division of quantities with , and , so
 | (9) |
For exponentiation of quantities with
 | (11) |
 | (12) |
so
 | (13) |
 | (14) |
If , then
 | (15) |
For Logarithms of quantities with , , so
 | (16) |
 | (17) |
For multiplication with , and , so
 | (18) |
For Powers,with , , so
