a really big number: 100,000,000,000,000 (atoms in a cell) or really small number: 0.000 000 000 01 meter (size of one atom) can be written without zeroes by using powers of 10. Scientific Notation
3
100,000,000,000,000 = 1 x 10 14 atoms (atoms in a cell) 0.000 000 000 01 meter = 1 x 10 –11 meters (size of an atom) Scientific Notation

Accuracy: how close to the actual or true value Accuracy, Precision, and % Error Precision: how close to each other (repeatable)
6
Error % Error = (________) x 100 acc Accuracy, Precision, and % Error exp – acc exp – experimental value acc – accepted value
