About This Book
6 1.5 Measurement Uncertainty, Accuracy, and Precision Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: - Define accuracy and precision - Differentiate between accuracy and precision - Distinguish exact and uncertain numbers - Correctly represent uncertainty in quantities using significant figures - Apply proper rounding rules to computed quantities Counting is the only type of measurement that is free from uncertainty, provided the number of objects being counted does not ch
