You are deciding between using a 5000 ohm thermistor, Material System 1, or a class A RTD for measuring the temperature of a critical circuit board of a smart phone near 30°C. The accuracy must be within 0.25°C throughout the range of measurement. Neither speed of response nor component cost is an issue. The 5000-ohm thermistor is defined in the table below.

The 5000-ohm thermistor is defined in the table below.

Given the tolerance on β for the thermistor, what is the absolute value of the accuracy of the reading in °C that you will get on the thermistor at 30°C? (Type in a three-decimal number)
