    The document presents equations for calculating the capacitance C of a parallel plate capacitor with plate separation a and b, and the propagation of uncertainty in C due to the uncertainties in a and b. It gives values for a, b, σa, and σb and uses the equations to calculate the relative uncertainty σc/c.

    xn3 = 27; xn4 = 115; xn yn = 21.3; xn2 yn = 158.1

    Solving (1), (2) and (3) we find a0 = 0.582; a1 = −1.182; a2 = 1.556
