The greatest possible error will be ½ × 25 fl oz = 12½ fl oz = 12.5 fl oz when your measuring device is only marked with in 25 fl oz graduations and the reading is taken to the nearest graduation mark: every reading up to half way between two graduations will round down to the lower of the two, and every reading half and above will round up to the higher of the two.

However, usually reading to a whole number will assume rounding to the nearest whole number and so the usual error will be ±½, ie an error of 0.5 fl oz.

What is the greatest possible error for 750?

If the numbers are rounded to the nearest 750, then 375 is the greatest possible error. Although you are not likely to have counted in 750s, it is quite possible that you counted in 50s (greatest error = 25). Or in tens (GE = 5) or in units (ones), when the greatest error is 0.5. The greatest possible error is half of the smallest unit of measurement.


Find the greatest possible error for the measurement 0.991 g?

The greatest possible error for the measurement 0.991 g would be half of the smallest measurable unit, which is typically 0.001 g for this measurement. Therefore, the greatest possible error would be ±0.0005 g.

What is the greatest possible error for the measurement 4.7 cm?

If the number of significant digits is correct, this measurement should be between 4.6 and 4.8 and thus have a possible maximum error of 0.1.

What is the greatest possible error for 14 ft?

The greatest possible error for a measurement is typically half of the smallest unit of measurement. In this case, the smallest unit of measurement is 1 foot, so the greatest possible error for a 14-foot measurement would be 0.5 feet. This means that the actual measurement could be as low as 13.5 feet or as high as 14.5 feet.

What is the greatest possible error of 11.125 oz?

The answer depends on the measurement precision. If the figure is correct to the last decimal, the greatest possible error is 0.0005 oz. However, the figure could refer to 11 oz + 32 drachms. If accurate to the nearest drachm, the greatest possible error is 0.00195 oz.
