The pressure in a cerain process is related to the temperature by the equation p(psi) = 12.0T(Degrees F) + 3.00
If the temperature of the process is 120 + or - 10 degrees F,Calculate the pressure (in psi) and the uncertainty
Substutite the values
$\displaystyle T_1 = 110, T_2 = 120 \;\; \text{and}\;\; T_3=130 $ into your formula giving
$\displaystyle P_1 = 1323, P_2=1443,\;\; \text{amd}\;\; P_3=1563$
So the pressure is 1443 with a tolerance of $\displaystyle \min(P_2-P_1,P_3-P_2)$ which in your case is 120.
