The level of measurement refers to the relationship among the values that are assigned to the attributes for a variable. Begin with the idea of the variable, in this example "party affiliation." That variable has a number of attributes. Let's assume that in this particular election context the only relevant attributes are "republican", "democrat", and "independent". For purposes of analyzing the results of this variable, we arbitrarily assign the values 1, 2 and 3 to the three attributes. The level of measurement describes the relationship among these three values. In this case, we simply are using the numbers as shorter placeholders for the lengthier text terms.

What determines Frequency of an AC signal?

A protective relay determines frequency of an AC signal of an electric power system. The protective relay includes a circuit measuring the AC signal period between zero crossings to provide a measured period value. A microprocessor includes a random access memory having a five-element array, which collects five consecutive values of the measured period values. A microprocessor routine chooses a median from the measured period values and generally determines the frequency based upon the median. The median is ignored and the previously determined line cycle period is adjusted to determine the new line cycle period if: an absolute value of a difference between a last value of the measured period values and a previously determined line cycle period is not less than a predetermined value; and the last value of the measured period values is within the limits of the array. <Prof Dae_Pwa>


How many significant values does 1089 have?

It has 4 significant digits but only one value.


What differecne between the accuracy and precision?

Accuracy is how close the value that is measured to a true or standard value. While precision is referred as the degree of nearness of the measured values to one another in a repeated same value.


What number of significant figure is the measured value 0.003 20 g is?

23


How a measured value is reported in terms of known and estimated digits?

How does one measure the surface roughness of an object?

A roughness value can either be calculated or measured on a profile or on a surface. The profile roughness parameter are more common. The area roughness parameters give more significant values.


Why are measured values of resistors different from the stated values?

1: Resistors are manufactured with different tolerances, ie they're allowed to be both a bit above as well as below the target value. 2: If you're using a simple multimeter there's no telling how close the measured value is to the real value anyhow, once that you get down to the decimal places.


How do you measured values?

there r many ways to measure value, rarity, weight, how hard it was to make, who made it, and how old it is.


What is the difference between measured and calculated?

A measured value is one that is directly obtained from the environment, such as using a scale to weight something. To calculate a value is to figure it out using other values. For example, if you know the distance something traveled and the time it took, you can calculate its speed.


What is the percent error for a measured value of 3.24 and a correct value of 3.02?

Percent error is calculated using the formula: ((measured value - correct value) / correct value) x 100. Plugging in the values, we get ((3.24 - 3.02) / 3.02) x 100 = (0.22 / 3.02) x 100 ≈ 7.28%.


What is the percent error if a measured value is 24.59 gmL and the accepted value is 25.49 gmL SCH1.4.1?

The percent error is calculated as: |(measured value - accepted value) / accepted value| * 100%. Substituting the values, we get |(24.59 - 25.49) / 25.49| * 100% = |-0.90 / 25.49| * 100% = 0.0353 * 100% = 3.53% error.
