You just use that formula they gave.. measured value - 2.80 Actual Value - 2.70
Oh I totally read it wrong
She found the answer to be -3.703
Looks good except have to keep only 3 sig fig 3.70%
So it turns positive?
Can I post the other ones on here @DanJS
It should be positive \[\frac{ (2.8-2.7)*100 }{ 2.7 }=\frac{ 10 }{ 2.7 }\approx3.70\]
Sure post more
The first one she got 2605.4 as significant and the second one she circled only the 1
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
There are a couple things about zeros, and if they are counted or not
I'm confused lol I thought it was all of them too. These are the rules she has
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
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
The zeros between sig figs count like those
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
That's all i can think of
Any other ones?
