    Step-by-step explanation:

    The radius = 4 ± 0.1

    height = 10

    Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

    Actual volume of the cylinder = π * 4² * 10

    = 502.6548246

    Maximum volume = π * 4.1² * 10

    = 528.1017251

    Minimum volume = π * 3.9² * 10

    = 477.8362426

    Average error = (528.1017251 - 477.8362426) / 2

    = 50.2654825/2

    = 25.13274125 in³

    The units are inches cubed.
