Another one

OpenStudy (danjs):

You just use that formula they gave.. measured value - 2.80 Actual Value - 2.70

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Oh I totally read it wrong

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

She found the answer to be -3.703

OpenStudy (danjs):

Looks good except have to keep only 3 sig fig 3.70%

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

So it turns positive?

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Can I post the other ones on here @DanJS

OpenStudy (danjs):

It should be positive \[\frac{ (2.8-2.7)*100 }{ 2.7 }=\frac{ 10 }{ 2.7 }\approx3.70\]

OpenStudy (danjs):

Sure post more

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

The first one she got 2605.4 as significant and the second one she circled only the 1

OpenStudy (danjs):

There are a couple rules about sig figs if you want me to go through them... Otherwise the first is 6 and the second is 1

OpenStudy (danjs):

There are a couple things about zeros, and if they are counted or not

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

I'm confused lol I thought it was all of them too. These are the rules she has

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

1. All non zero digits are SD 2. Zeroes that occur between SDs are SDs 3. Zeroes that are to the right of the decimal and to the right of a non zero digit are SDs

OpenStudy (danjs):

Right. Basically -- if zeros are only holding a place, they don't count. Placeholder zeroes. like in 0.00001 --- 1 sig fig But if there was another digit like 2.00001 --- 6 sig fig 0.20001 ---5 sig fig 0.02001 ---4sig fig

OpenStudy (danjs):

The zeros between sig figs count like those

OpenStudy (danjs):

Or if you have the trailing zero on the decimal left... 2.250 -- 4 sig fig That last zero is measured and written, otherwise no need to write that zero

OpenStudy (danjs):

That's all i can think of

Any other ones?
