How close you are to the real answer Accuracy How close you are to the real answer

Precision How well one can repeat his or her work Repeatability

Uncertainty All measurements have a degree of unreliability Usually in the last digit of a measurement

Meaningful digits in a number Significant Digits Meaningful digits in a number

Multiplication Uncertainty The answer should have the same number of significant digits as the multiplier with the least number of SD Same for division

Addition Uncertainty When adding, line up decimal place & add The decimal places in the answer should = the least Same for subtraction

Determining Significance All non-zero digits All zeros between non-zero numbers All trailing zeros if there is a decimal place

Scientific Notation M x 10n M = 1.00  M < 10.00 n = an integer
