Answer:

Range of values: [9.97, 10.13] or 0.16 ml

Percentage uncertainty = 0.0.796%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is an uncertainty of ±0.08 ml, the minimum is
10.05 - 0.08 = 9.97

Maximum with uncertainty = 10.05 + 0.08 = 10.13

So the min, max range is [9.97, 10.13] which is a spread of 0.16

Uncertainty as a percentage

= (0.08/10.05) x 100

= 0.0.796%
