In contrast‚ if there are many experiments that their results match each other‚ you can not even make a conclusion. Why? Because it is not guaranteed that you can not find a different experiment that their result fail to match each other. * c.

Definition of Measurement Measurement is the process or the result of determining the ratio of a physical quantity‚ such as a length‚ time‚ temperature etc.‚ to a unit of measurement‚ such as the meter‚ second or degree Celsius. The science of measurement is called metrology. The English word measurement originates from the Latin mēnsūra and the verb metiri through the Middle French mesure.

They are significant when between nonzero digits‚ and when at the end of a number that includes a decimal point. They are not significant when before the first nonzero digit‚ and when at the end of a number without a decimal point. Now for nonzero digits. All nonzero digits in a number are considered significant. For example 4.013 has four sig figs. 900.2 has

Andrea will be able to read her balance to a greater number of significant figures than Andrew since her balance is more precise. Her successive measurements will also be less variable than Andrew’s measurements. Ex. If three measurements are taken by Andrea (1.7 mL‚ 1.7 mL and 1.8 mL) we know that her spread in measured

The decimal point is placed after the first significant figure‚ and then this decimal is multiplied by the appropriate power of 10. 3. The power of 10 is found as follows. • If the decimal point is moved left (for large numbers)‚ the power of 10 is the number of places moved left. • If the decimal
