Why are micrometers rather than millimeters used for microscope measurements?
The same reason metres are used to measure houses instead of miles. One is of the right size at that scale, the other is so large all measurements would be in very small decimals.
Why do scientists prefer using the metric system rather than the English system to make measurements?
1) It is an international standard, so all scientists use the same measurements. For comparison, for example, different countries have different definitions of a pound. 2) Calculations are easier, because of the decimal prefixes.
What is an anthropometric measurement?
The term anthropometric refers to comparative measurements of the body. Anthropometric measurements are used in nutritional assessments. Those that are used to assess growth and development in infants, children, and adolescents include length, height, weight, weight-for-length, and head circumference (length is used in infants and toddlers, rather than height, because they are unable to stand). Individual measurements are usually compared to reference standards on a growth chart.
When would you use the mean rather than the median and the mode?
Mean is the average you add all the numbers and divide the total by the number of numbers that you added. you would use it rather thank median and mode basically when it asks you to find the mean or to find the average
What measuring device use for size of the classromm?
A tape-measure could be used to measure a classroom. A metre length stick, or even pacing are other means that can be used. It rather depends on how accurate the measurements need to be.
How accurate are different types of flow meters in measuring FEV1?
Generally, most flow meters are very accurate in FEV1. However, device accuracy is not especially important, rather it is essential that you take multiple measurements to calculate an accurate working average.
What is the measure the capacity of caton of cream?
Cream comes in several sized cartons. You can get a cup of cream, a pint of cream, or a quart of cream. These are measurements of volume rather than mass, since liquids are measured by volume.
The difference between an empirical distribution and a theoretical distribution?
Empirical Distribution: based on measurements that are actually taken on a variable. Theoretical Distribution: not constructed on measurements but rather by making assumptions and representing these assumptions mathematically.
Is a kilogram part of the SI?
Yes, the kilogram (rather than the gram) is one of the base units of the SI system of measurements.
Do experimental measurements give the true value of physical quantity?
No because there are always experimental errors, instrument limitations, and deviations in measurements. This is called the uncertainty. Experimental values do not give true values but rather a value with an uncertainty.
What measurements is best understood using einsteins concepts rather than newtonian physics?
The total mass of a nucleus APEX for the homies
Should the social sciences be held to the same standards of scientific inquiry as the biological and physical sciences why or why not?
No, because the accuracy of measurements in considerably lesser in the social sciences. In fact they rely heavily on statistical truths rather than direct measurements.
How good is Rotom in its normal form?
It is rather average.
Is it normal for a 69 year old woman to get her period?
Yes, It is normal because having period is an important thing for womens.
Why are micrometers rather than millimeters used for microscope measurements?

Where can I find a good astrologist?
There are several websites that offer advice on finding astrologers. gryphonastrology.com and findanastrologer.com are good places to start. The important thing is finding an astrologer who works for you rather than one with specific qualifications. Don't hesitate to try several out before deciding on one.
What word do you get when you cross a part of the body and an Edison invention?
Perhaps Thomas Edison's most famous invention is the lightbulb. If you combine head (a rather important part of the body) with light (a rather important part of the word lightbulb), you get headlight (a rather important part of a car).
