Willy,

Correct, with important assumptions:

- that the uncertainty of each one is randomly independent of the other.
- i think one also assumes the overall uncertainties have to have a
Gaussian distribution.
If you grab a handful of components / units, they may, or may not, show
independently random distribution of values, depending on manufacturing.
