The amount of doubt about a measured result, often expressed as an estimated interval around the reported value.

Every measurement has some uncertainty: a degree of doubt about the exact value. This does not necessarily mean that someone has made a mistake.

A limitation in how precisely a measurement, estimate or prediction is known.

Calculate the range as highest value minus lowest value, then divide by two to estimate uncertainty.

Include units and use ± when reporting the mean with its uncertainty.

Distinguish uncertainty from lack of evidence: uncertainty can affect the size of a predicted change without overturning the overall conclusion.
