Greatest possible error for 19.2 meters?

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.


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.


Which is the smallest fraction of a number?

There is no such thing because half that fraction will be smaller still.


How do you get the least possible number that can be rounded off?

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.


What is smallest rational number?

There is no such number. If any number laid claim to being the smallest rational number its claim could be challenged by half that number - which would also be rational and, obviously smaller. And the claim of that number could be challenged by half that number, and so on.

What is Relative standard uncertainty in burette?

The smallest possible burette reading is 0.10 and the uncertainty of a burette's reading is half of its smallest value (0.05).


What is the greatest possible error of 3.5 cm?

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.

How are the strongest associations between the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus formed?

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.

The smallest number in the world?

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.
