Is it appropriate to estimate numeric measurements in a scientific investigation?
No because you have to have the exact measurement to be correct, what if someone were to come back and redo your experiment and then had a different outcome?
What does ca mean in measurements?
In measurements, "ca" typically stands for "circa," a Latin term meaning "around" or "approximately." It is often used in historical contexts to indicate an estimated date or quantity. For example, "ca 1900" would imply that the date is around the year 1900, rather than an exact year.
Why is it important to have exact standards of measurements?
In short, without exact standards of measurement, no one could speak of the same amount of a thing. For example, imagine you're trying to bake a cake. The recipe calls for 3 "bunches" of flour. Now you are totally confused because you don't know how much flour to use, because a "bunch" of flour is not an exact standard of measurement. Or maybe you go to the bank and tell them you'd like to deposit "a lot" of money. Hopefully you can see that both of these situations (although ridiculous) are lacking in exact standards of measurement. This can be applied to more scientific areas. For instance, if you are recording an experiment for other scientists to also study and verify, you must use exact measurements.
