98
Precision is a gauge of how exact a measurement is and can the results be repeated. Precision
99
The precision of a calculated answer is limited by the least precise measurement used in the calculation. 2.54m 2.6m2.538m
100
Accuracy is the closeness of a measurement to the actual value of what is being measured. Accuracy 2.54m 2.6m2.538m actual value = 2.53m

Significant Figures
107
What is a significant figure? There are 2 kinds of numbers: Exact: the amount of money in your account. Known with certainty.
108
What is a significant figure? Approximate: weight, height—anything MEASURED. No measurement is perfect.
109
When to use Significant figures When a measurement is recorded only those digits that are dependable are written down.
110
When to use Significant figures If you measured the width of a paper with your ruler you might record 21.7cm. To a mathematician 21.70, or 21.700 is the same.
111
But, to a scientist 21.7cm and 21.70cm is NOT the same 21.700cm to a scientist means the measurement is accurate to within one thousandth of a cm.
112
But, to a scientist 21.7cm and 21.70cm is NOT the same If you used an ordinary ruler, the smallest marking is the mm, so your measurement has to be recorded as 21.7cm.
113
How do I know how many Sig Figs? Rule: All digits are significant starting with the first non- zero digit on the left.
114
How do I know how many Sig Figs? Exception to rule: In whole numbers that end in zero, the zeros at the end are not significant.
115
How many sig figs? 7 40 0.5 0.00003 7 x 10 5 7,000,000 1 1 1 1 1 1
116
How do I know how many Sig Figs? 2 nd Exception to rule: If zeros are sandwiched between non-zero digits, the zeros become significant.
117
How do I know how many Sig Figs? 3rd Exception to rule: If zeros are at the end of a number that has a decimal, the zeros are significant.
118
How do I know how many Sig Figs? 3rd Exception to rule: These zeros are showing how accurate the measurement or calculation are.
119
How many sig figs here? 1.2 2100 56.76 4.00 0.0792 7,083,000,000 2 2 4 3 3 4
120
How many sig figs here? 3401 2100 2100.0 5.00 0.00412 8,000,050,000 4 2 5 3 3 6
121
What about calculations with sig figs? Rule: When adding or subtracting measured numbers, the answer can have no more places after the decimal than the LEAST of the measured numbers.
122
Add/Subtract examples 2.45cm + 1.2cm = 3.65cm, Round off to = 3.7cm 7.432cm + 2cm = 9.432 round to 9cm
123
Multiplication and Division Rule: When multiplying or dividing, the result can have no more significant figures than the least reliable measurement.
124
A couple of examples 56.78 cm x 2.45cm = 139.111 cm 2 Round to 139cm 2 75.8cm x 9.6cm = ?
