Molar concentration calculation with absolute uncertainty


A solution of $\ce{F-}$ is prepared by dissolving $(0.0933\pm0.0004)\ \mathrm g$ of $\ce{NaF}$ $(M= (41.989\pm0.001)\ \mathrm {g/mol})$ in $156.00\pm\ \mathrm{mL}$ of water. Calculate the concentration of $\ce{F-}$ in the solution and its absolute uncertainty.


First of all, uncertainty aside, I got $0.0141$ for the concentration of $\ce{F-}$. However, this is not the correct answer (according to Sapling Learning).


Furthermore, what technique should I use to find the absolute uncertainty?
