What uncertainty in the value should be reported

Reference no: EM13719290

Problem: A container holds a quantity of sand. Full, the weight is measured to be 68.5 g on a scale that is accurate to 0.1 g. The empty container is 1.5 g, so the amount of sand can be calculated as 67.0 g.

Part A: What uncertainty in the value should be reported?

I want help to find what uncertainty in the value should be reported.
