Answer:

0.5

Explanation:

Given that:

Irina measured the weight of her dog to be 13 pounds.

The greatest possible error that could have to occur will be the maximum error.

Let assume that the 13th value obtained was rounded between the range of 12.5 → 13.49 to 13 pounds

Then;

The greatest possible error that could have to occur = 13.0 - 12.5 pounds

The greatest possible error that could have to occur = 0.5 pounds
