Abstract: Abstract So far we have dealt with various aspects of uncertainty in measuring a single quantity. In Sect. 4.4 it was a measurement of weight; in Sect. 4.5 we analyzed results from measuring pull strength. In most real-life situations, the measurement process involves several quantities whose measurement result is subject to uncertainty. To clarify the exposition, let us consider a rather simple example.
