Determine which of the pair of approximate numbers is (a) more precise and (b) more accurate. 7040; 0.004

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 7040 as accurate and.004 precise is this right or are they equally precise

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.004

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(a) 0.004 is RELATIVELY more precise. Not enough information is given. (b) 7040 is more accurate because it has 4 significant figures while the other has one sigfig

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is, it is more precise if we assume they are on the same scale

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay, if that was so that would make the difference.
