\label{fig:ShotGraph}  Graph of Shot Noise - the slope the value we got for the charge of the electron. As you can see, our slope has a value of $1.64 \cdot 10^{-19} \pm 7.0 \cdot 10^{ -22}$ coulombs.  \textbf{You are saying that the error} is $\pm 0.007 \cdot 10^{-22} \textrm{ Coulombs}$. If so, your best estimate value of $e$ should be stated to the same number of sig figs. For example, $1.641 \pm 0.007 \cdot 10^{-22} \textrm{ Coulombs}$ or $1.649 \pm 0.007 \cdot 10^{-22} \textrm{ Coulombs}$.
