Abstract
Error analysis is an important part of laboratory work and research in general. We will be using probability density functions (PDF) to calculate the uncertainty in our measurements. We will be using 3 types of PDFs, the triangle shaped, box shaped, and bell or gaussian shaped. For a PDF, the area under the function is equal to one, which tells us that the sum of all probabilities is equal to one.
