No. However repeated measurements can be averaged or otherwise be used to arrive at a more accurate result.

If a measurement is smaller does the percentage error increase or decrease?
increase
What is the difference in temperature variation from -28 degrees F to 19 degrees F?
47 oF From -28 oF to 0 oF is an increase of 28 oF; from 0 oF to 19 oF is an increase of 19 oF; so an increase from -28 oF to 19 oF is (increase from -28 oF to 0 oF) + (increase from 0 oF to 19 oF) = 28 oF + 19 oF = 47 oF Or mathematically: 19 oF - (-28 oF) = 19 oF + 28 oF = 47 oF * * * * * NO! The Fahrenheit scale is not an absolute scale so the measurement unit for the difference is Fahrenheit degrees, not degrees Fahrenheit. May seem trivial, but mathematics demand precision.
What is percent of change in 240 of 320?
It's difficult to tell which way that one's going. 240 to 320 is a 33 and 1/3% increase. 320 to 240 is a 25% decrease.
Why are several trials taken for each measurement in an experiment?
A good way to reduce error or increase measurement accuracy is to take several measurements and compute their average. In other words, you achieve accuracy through averaging. (This also validates the repeatability of the measurement.)
What was the approximate percent increase of Tameka's plant if the plant measured 3 inches at the beginning of the week and 5 inches at the end of the week?
It increased by 66.66... (repeating) %.
How can you increase the precision of the double in c?
no you cannot increase the precision of double itself in C
When precision increases does uncertainty increase or decrease?
I would assume that with am increase in precision there would be an increase in accuracy and less variables. Therefore I would say that there would be a decrease in uncertainty. The more attention to detail the less chance for mistakes.
If a measurement is smaller does the percentage error increase or decrease?
increase
What does an auxanometer measure?

What is the percentage of 700 to 900?

Increasing the precision of a certain measurement will also increase the accuracy?
Essentially correct. One can get a little out of (warp) with such things as spot-averaging though such as running a number of measurements of the same object and then striking an average. this is done in scientific observations and surveying but is impractical in everyday life, as with clocks, speedometers, etc.
What is a serial measurement?
A series of measurements looking for an increase or decrease over time.
How you increase the rate of filtration through gooch crucible?
applying the suction or by placing the gooch crucible in a suction filtering apparatus
