C4 a UB1 = Uncertainty associated with CRM used. (CRM 116/04 )
UB1 = 0.0003 (from Calibration Certificate at 95% CL with a coverage factor, k=2)
The Standard Uncertainty =UB1/2 (Assuming normal distribution)

UB1 = 0.00015
Degree of Freedom is = ∞
b. UB2 = Uncertainty due to the Instrument used (SPECTROLAB LAV M11)
UB2 = 0.0001 (Detection limit of Pb)
The Standard Uncertainty = UB2/√3 (Assuming Rectangular distribution)
UB2 = 0.000058
Degree of Freedom is = ∞
UC = √ (UA)² + (UB1)² + (UB2)²
33.28154429
Expanded Uncertainty, UEXP = k x UC = 66.563089
The reported expanded Uncertainty in measurement is stated as the standard Uncertainty in measurment multiplied by coverage factor,k=2 at 95%CL
Remark: The measured Uncertainty calculated for mass of Zinc Coating at 1209.85 is ± 66.56gms
