One way is for each measurement to be accompanied by an error bound.
For example, height = 1.78 metre (± 0.5 cm). The error could also be given in percentage terms. That is more common with calculated values rather than measured ones.

Accuracy of measurement refers to how close a measured value is to the true or accepted value of the quantity being measured. It reflects the degree of precision and correctness of the measuring instrument or method used. Accuracy is often expressed as a percentage error or deviation from the true value.
