Question

How do you calculate the uncertainty for the average diameter?

I have 3 different diamters, and its average! but i am struggling in calculating its uncertainty.

Thanks
I would recommend calculating the standard deviation from the mean. Google "stadard deviation" for more details, if you need them.
