Within a pound?

I forget what the warrantied accuracy of My bathroom scale was, but i measures in tenths of a pound. If I weigh myself (158.2) stepping on and off 3 times, and then pick up my bike on the last time and do that twice (177.2) both times I would say that the bike weighs pretty close to 19 lbs. not 20 or 18. Not even 19.5 or 18.5, probably between 18.8 and 19.2 lbs and very possibly even closer . While there may be an overall error of a few lbs. in my weight, (and in my weight plus the bike's weight),, the magnitude of the error in the weight of the bike should be roughly 1/8 the size of the overall error, (19/167.7)x(Gross Error)
Something like that anyway....
