Accuracy and Precision
Accuracy – how close a measured value is to the actual value
Precision – how close the measured values are to each other
![Page 3: Standards of Measurements. Accuracy and Precision Accuracy – how close a measured value is to the actual value Precision – how close the measured values](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051101/5a4d1adb7f8b9ab059974ad4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Significant Figures
All nonzero digits are significant. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Zeros within a number are always significant. Both 4308 and 40.05 have four significant figures.

Significant Figures
Zeros that set the decimal point are not significant. 470,000 has two significant figures. 0.000084 has two significant figures.
Trailing zeros that aren't needed to hold the decimal point are significant. 4.00 has three significant figures.

Significant Figures
If the least precise measurement in a calculation has three significant figures, then the calculated answer can have at most three significant figures.
Mass = 34.73 grams Volume = 4.42 cubic centimeters.
Rounding to three significant figures, the density is 7.86 grams per cubic centimeter.

Scientific Notation
For large numbers, moving the decimal to the left will result in a positive number 346500 = 3.46 x 105
For small numbers, moving the decimal to the right will result in a negative number 0.000145 = 1.45 x 10-4
For numbers less than 1 that are written in scientific notation, the exponent is negative.

Temperature
A degree Celsius is almost twice as large as a degree Fahrenheit.
You can convert from one scale to the other by using one of the following formulas:
![Page 24: Standards of Measurements. Accuracy and Precision Accuracy – how close a measured value is to the actual value Precision – how close the measured values](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051101/5a4d1adb7f8b9ab059974ad4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Temperature
Convert 90 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius oC = 5/9 (oF - 32)
oC = 5/9 (90 - 32)
oC = 0.55555555555555556 (58)
oC = 32.2

Temperature
Convert 50 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit oF = 9/5 (oC ) + 32
oF = 9/5 (50 ) + 32
oF = 1.8 (50) + 32
oF = 90 + 32
oF = 122

Temperature
The SI base unit for temperature is the kelvin (K). • A temperature of 0 K, or 0 kelvin, refers to the
lowest possible temperature that can be reached. • In degrees Celsius, this temperature is
–273.15°C. To convert between kelvins and degrees Celsius, use the formula:
