uncertainty & significant figures
ma
"
absolute uncertainty : when there are multiple trials /measurements
reading uncertainty :
based on the measuring instrument
absolute uncertainties (A) have a unit
Abs . Unc .
relative uncertainty measurement :
relative uncertainty comes in the form of fractional relative uncertainties and percentage
relative uncertainties .
significant figures the amount of digits ( I 9) as well as leading zeros after a decimal point and
-
:
ending zeros
mathematical operations :
multiplication and division :
significant figures : not more significant figures than the fewest significant figures
uncertainty : add relative uncertainties
addition and subtraction :
significant figures fewest digits to : the right of the decimal point .
uncertainty : add absolute uncertainty
