Suppose that the initial activity (No) and lifetime (?) of a

     radioactive source are each known with a relative uncertainty of 1%. If one calculates

     the activity (N) at time t from the relation

N = No e

Solution

There is no way to determine this..it is a judgemental question ..its upto you considering the time and time constant to chose uncertainity...within the range in which time constant =t uncertainities will be comparable
