The greatest possible error should be one half of the smallest unit used. The smallest unit used here is a tenth of a metre - or 100 cm. So the greatest error is 50 centimetres. Unfortunately, measurements are often given to spurious levels of accuracy.
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.
There is no such thing because half that fraction will be smaller still.
Not possible
It is the target value less half the amount of rounding. If that sounds cryptic, try this example: Find the smallest number which, when rounded to the nearest 10 comes to 400. Target Value = 400 Amount of Rounding = 10 So the smallest value = 400 - 10/2 = 400 - 5 = 395. The smallest number rounded to the nearest 100, which comes to 400, is 400 - 100/2 = 400 - 50 = 350.
The smallest possible burette reading is 0.10 and the uncertainty of a burette's reading is half of its smallest value (0.05).
first you must find the precision. that is the smallest possible unit of the smallest measurement. in this case the smallest measurement is 5/10ths. the smallest possible unit is 1/10. so 1/10 is the precision. to find the greatest possible error you have to multiply the precision (1/10) by 1/2. and you get 1/20. the greatest possible error is 1/20. another example: find the greatest possible error of both 6 and 3.214. for 6 the smallest unit would be 1 because you can go lower than one without going to the next unit down. so we then take one and multiply it by 1/2. one half is also 0.5. 1 multiplied by 1/2 is 1/2, therefore, the greatest possible error of 6 is 1/2 or 0.5. for the next number take the smallest unit of 214/1000, which is what .214 is. the smallest measurement would be 1/1000. that is our precision. the greatest possible error is one half (1/2) of the precision, or, 1/1000 x 1/2, which equals 1/2000. the greatest possible error of 3.214 is 1/2000. it's kind of confusing. i hope this helped. first it helps to understand the precision. then from there the gpe is half of the precision.
The strongest associations between the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus are formed through repeated pairings of the two stimuli. When the conditioned stimulus reliably predicts the unconditioned stimulus, learning occurs through classical conditioning. The more consistent and closely timed the pairings, the stronger the association becomes.

no its not
There is no such number. There are two possible interpretations of the question: the smallest number being the most negative or the one with the smallest absolute value. In the first case, negative numbers, like positive numbers go on forever. One less than the previous smallest will always be smaller. In the second case, numbers are infinitely dense. So for positive fractions, half of the previous smallest will be smaller still.
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.
In a realistic sense, no it is not possible to be half ghost.
The smallest planet in our Solar System is Mercury. The second-smallest is Mars, which has MORE than half of Earth's diameter.
