Question

Why is .001 more precise than .01?

Answer 1

Answer 2

If you measure something to .001, then you're about to wrong \(\pm .0005\).
If you measure something to .01, then you're about to wrong \(\pm .005\).
Then we say: wrong about \(\pm .0005\) is more precise than wrong about \(\pm .005\)
