Significant figures RULES TO MEMORIZE!

1.All measurements are inaccurate 2. Precision of measuring device 3. Human error 4. Faulty technique

Measurements need to convey precision Must include degree of uncertainty Sig Figs tell us

Significant figures

Significant figures in a measurement include Rule 1 All of the digits that are known precisely plus one last digit that is estimated

Rule 2 Every non-zero digit is significant Ex: 2.47 = 3 significant figures

Rule 3 Zeros between non- zeros are significant ex. 24.0007 – 6 sig figs

Rule 4 Zeros in front of non-zeros are NOT SIGNIFICANT ex. 0.0099 – 2 sig figs

Rule 5 Zeros past a number to the right of a decimal are significant Ex. 43.00 – 4 sig figs

Rule 6 Zeros before understood decimals are NOT SIGNIFICANT ex. 100 – 1 sig fig

Rule 7 Zeros before indicated decimal are significant ex. 100. – 3 sig figs

Rule 8 Counts and exact quantities are infinitely significant ex. 12 eggs in a dozen 5280 ft in 1 mile

Rule 9 Adding and subtracting – retain as many places to the right of the decimal as the original number with the least decimal places.

Rule 10 If you multiply or divide two numbers, the answer is rounded off to the number of significant figures in the least precise term used in the calculation (i.e. the number with the fewest sig figs).
