Every measurement has UNITS.. Every measurement has UNCERTAINTY.. 2. Accuracy and Precision in . Measurements. Accuracy: how close a measurement is to the accepted value.. Precision: how close a series of measurements are to one another or how far out a measurement is taken.. Physical Science. What is a significant figure?. There are 2 kinds of numbers:. Exact: the amount of money in your account. Known with certainty.. What is a significant figure?. Approximate: weight, height—anything MEASURED. No measurement is perfect.. Easy as…. IDing. Sig Figs. Significant . Figures. . All the digits used to report a measurement including the uncertain . digit (your guess).. The only digits that are NOT considered significant are zeros that are present simply as placeholders. . 2.3. A. What are Significant Figures?.

Measurements and Their Uncertainty. 3.1. 3.1. Measurements are fundamental to the experimental sciences. For that reason, it is important to be able to make measurements, and to use them correctly when calculating answers.. When taking scientific measurements, the goals are to measure . accurately. and with . precision. .. Accuracy. . refers to how close a measured value is to the actual or real . value. Precision. . Conversion Problems. Density. Measurements and their Uncertainty . Do any of these signs list a measurement?. - Measurements contain BOTH a . number. and a . unit. .. All measurements depend on units that serve as reference standards. The standards of measurement used in science are those of the metric system. . SC3.
