If some magnesium oxide had escaped from The Crucible would the percentage composition calculation of magnesium be too high or too low?

The percent of Mg calculated will be too high. Let's say that you reacted 1.00 g of Mg and made some MgO, but so much MgO escaped as smoke that only 1.00 g of MgO was left. You would then conclude from the numbers that the mass of O in the MgO was zero! This would lead you to conclude that the percent of Mg in the MgO was 100 %, which is silly and clearly in error. Although this is an extreme example, it illustrates that the loss of MgO as smoke from the crucible leads to a percent of Mg (calculated) that is above the expected 60.3 %.

Why is it important to add water to a heated crucible when obtaining the mass of MgO?

Pure MgO will absorbe water from the air causing an error in the experiment if that extra mass is not accounted for. By adding water in the very beginning you eliminate this error.
