Since you don't have any choices presented for the question, I'll just proceed on discussing possible errors that would be made in this scientific experiment.

The errors could root from:

-measurement of the thickness incosistently (at different times of the day)

-the instrument used is different in each measurement

-no regard of significant figures

-standard deviation from the mean is not calculated and not propagated
