The transducer specified in Table 1.1 is chosen to measurea nominal pressure of 500 cm H2O. The ambient temperature is expected to vary between 18 ∘C and 25 ∘C duringtests. Estimate the possible range (magnitude) of each listedelemental error affecting the measured pressure refering to the solution provided online,
Sensitivity error(eK)
= (±0.0025)(500 cm H2O)= ± 0.75 cm H2O

How do I calculate the sensitivity error?
The solution that was given:
Sensitivity error(eK)
= (±0.0025)(500 cm H2O)= ± 0.75 cm H2O
= ± 0.00375 V
My Question is, how do you obtain 0.75 since 0.0025 x 500 gives 1.25!
please help. thanks
