4.4:
l -> 34.47 0.4572 becomes 34.47 0.46
the uncertainty shows we are not sure about the 1st decimal rounding the uncertainty to two significant figure becomes 0.46
f-> 41074 25.9 -> 41074 26 ; we are not sure about the 10th place
k-> 1.3743 x105 216 we are uncertain about the hundredth place
it becomes 137430 220 or (1.3743 0.0022) x105
I -> 23274.64746 5.566 becomes 232747.6 5.6
we are uncertain about the 1s place , rounding the uncertainty to 2 digits it becomes 5.6

0s to the right of the decimal have no value, the least quantity we could measure is 1/10 mm , this values is significant to the first decimal place. reporting a result to 2nd decimal place does not make any sense as we did not measure anything to the 2nd decimal place.
writing extra digits which are insignificant makes no sense.
The "best" result is always associated with the measurement with the smallest uncertainty. Measurement B has...
ne that you are doing an experiment in order to determine the mass of an object t us say that as a result of the experiment, you determine that the best approximation of the mass is 83.45 g with a standard uncertainty of 0.34 g Et is sometimes convenient to write the result as 83.45t 0.34 g. The result 83.45 g0.34 g defines an interval on the "number line" (between 83,.11g to be f 79 g) in which we can...
Name: Date: CVEN207-Sures2019 In today's laboratory we will learn measurement technigues that will be used in laboratory over the routine calculations. Lastly we will look at how uncertainty relates to measurement, precision and Laboratory # 2 : Measurement and UncertaintyY Introduction semester. We will also examine the use of dimensional analysis and significant figures in performing accuracy. Precision Scientific measurements should be as precise as possible: this means that every measurement will include one uncertain or estimated digit. The number...
only one problem (Exercise 1-11 only) Uncertainties in Measurement and Propagation of Errors one measurement is made and often the peecision of the instrument is used as arn mate of the uncertainty. the instrument and the situation, the uncertainty Depending upon could be less than the precision of the instrument or it could be more. For example, in measuring we may estimate the distance between the small est subdivision (mm) if we rurn the meter stick onto its side to...
The principal investigator (PI) for the laboratory you are doing research in has tasked with you with preparing 250 mL of an aqueous zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) solution with a concentration of approximately 50. mM- it is not critical for the solution to be exactly 50 mM, it is just critical to know what it exactly is. Proceed through the following steps to quantify the concentration and uncertainty for the solution you prepare. For this question use the following molar mass...
Only do exerice 1-9 220AL-E1 he uncertainty in an experimental quantity must be reported. Since there are a number of ways to do this we must state the meaning of the uncertainty. A Estimated uncertaint Sometimes we make several measurements that are identical. Eq 1-2 would yield ơx-0, which could lead to the mistaken impression that the uncertainty is zero when in fact the precision of the instrument is less than the random errors. We must estimate the uncertainty, and,...
LAB 1 PROBLEM 1: INTRODUCTION TO MEASUREMENT AND UNCERTAINTY Welcome to 1101 Physics Laboratory! This lab exercise is meant to introduce you to measurement procedures, uncertainties in measurement, and the computer software that you will be using throughout the course. It will be worth your time to read through this entire lab and the next one as there are many helpful tips and references that you may want to use in later labs. PART I—Measurement and Uncertainty You perform quality...

Given: density of wood 0.8 gm/cc density of aluminum 2.70 gm/cc thickness of specimen 0.17 mm a) Determine the percent of error of the density of wood b) Determine the percent of error of the density of aluminum c) Determine the percent of error of the thickness of the specimen d) Which of these measurements was most...
Precision for Reporting Reporting the Mean and SE Table 1. t-Test output. Large-billed birds eat more big How many significant digits you report for your mean depends on your precision seeds than do small-billed birds of measurement. As a general guideline, include one decimal place to the right beyond the scale of measurement. For example, if you counted the number of seeds a bird has eaten (ie, whole numbers), your mean would be written to the Mean # of seeds...
Please answer ALL parts of these questions and show all work. I will rate my answer. Thank you! . E. Questions Consider the cylinder case. The uncertainty in any one measurement of the density can be determined in the following way. (a) Take the instrumental limit of error associated with the Vernier calipers used to be one-half the least count or smallest measureable increment 8lVernier = 0.001 cm Assume the uncertainty in all linear measurements to be the same and...
Problem 1 (Short Answer) Answer the following questions in 2-4 sentences: a) Describe how uncertainty plays a role in engineering measurements and experiments b) Explain what the variance of a dataset or random variable represents. c) Explain why normal distributions and normal random variables are used very commonly in engineering practice Describe what is meant by the rejection region of an alternative hypothesis, and sketch the rejection regions for the right-sided, left-sided, and two-sided alternatives d) Problem 2 (Health Data...
