la Uncertainty in net counts The background is meatured and found to be 173 counts in 5 minutes. For one measurement using the Sr90 source and a thick piece of polyethylene as the absorber, 113 counts are recorded for one minute. Determine the net counts N. What is the uncertainty in that value, ON? Answer: 60 Uncertainty inw.counts is the square root of the counts. To combine uncertainties when adding or subtracting, add the squares of the uncertainties together and take the use root 4 Alnar
