What is the greatest possible error for a measurement of 25 fluid ounces?

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.

∙ 6y agoThat depends how you measure it. However, if something is reported as 25 units (any unit), it is usually assumed that the last digit is accurate - and the greatest expected error should be somewhere around 0.5 units.

What is the greatest possible error for each measurement. 953 mi?
It is 0.5 mi.
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 of 1.20m?

what is the greatest possible error of 350mi
How do you find greatest possible error for measurement of 18.3 m?
It is half the place value of the last digit that is given. In this case, it is + or -0.05m = + or - 5 cm.
What is the greatest possible error for 8.64?
Assuming that the measurement is to the nearest 0.01, the greatest possible error is 0.005.
What is the greatest possible error for 4.5 ounces?
0.05 ounces.
How do you find greatest possible error for measurement of 3ft?
0.5
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.

The greatest possible error is 0.005
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.
What is the greatest possible error of 0.991g?
The greatest possible error is 0.0005
How do you find greatest possible error for measurement of 18.9 m?
Assuming the number is written to its greatest precision, it will be half of the place of the last digit. Since the 9 is in the tenths place, the greatest possible error is ±0.5*a tenth = ±0.05 metres.
