If the scale is calibrated in tenths of a kilogram I do not see how you can estimate to the nearest two hundredths of a kilogram!
The calibration allows you to measure mass (in kilograms) to 1 decimal place. For masses less than 10 kg, that mean 2 significant figures. For masses of 10 kg or more but less than 100 kg, you can give the information to 3 sf and for masses of 100 kg or more, 3 sf.
What else can I help you with?
When you are making measurements how should you estimate the last significant digit?
int num = 12345; int lastDigit = num % 10; // = 5
The significant figures in a measurement include?
The rules for identifying significant figures when writing or interpreting numbers are as follows: All non-zero digits are considered significant. For example, 91 has two significant figures (9 and 1), while 123.45 has five significant figures (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). Zeros appearing anywhere between two non-zero digits are significant. Example: 101.1203 has seven significant figures: 1, 0, 1, 1, 2, 0 and 3. Leading zeros are not significant. For example, 0.00052 has two significant figures: 5 and 2. Trailing zeros in a number containing a decimal point are significant. For example, 12.2300 has six significant figures: 1, 2, 2, 3, 0 and 0. The number 0.000122300 still has only six significant figures (the zeros before the 1 are not significant). In addition, 120.00 has five significant figures since it has three trailing zeros.
What does the best estimate suggest about how much variation in intelligence can be explained by genetics?
The best estimate suggests that about 50-60% of the variation in intelligence can be explained by genetics. This means that genetic factors play a significant role in determining an individual's level of intelligence, but environmental factors also play an important role.
How many significant figures are justified in a measurement of a length that is between 9 and 10 centimeters if the measuring device ruler has smallest divisions of 0.1 cm?
Two significant figures are justified in this measurement. Since the measuring device ruler has smallest divisions of 0.1 cm, the uncertainty lies in the last digit. The measurement falls between 9.0 cm and 10.0 cm, so the two digits, 9 and 0, are significant.
How can the number of significant figures in a measurement be increased without changing the measuring device?
There are at least a couple of ways. Each may not be appropriate in all circumstances.Read the measurement from markings between those that are numbered. For example, most rulers have numbered centimetres but the markings are at millimetres.If there are a number of identical items, then measure then together and take their average. For example, if you have ten identical coins, then the measure their combined mass and divide the answer by 10. That average will have one more sig fig. But the items MUST be identical.
Can the Kenmore ranges model 790.71411404 oven temperature be calibrated?
no. you can estimate by using an oven therometer
What is the estimate of 52405 to one significant figure?
50000
How are molecular clocks usually calibrated based on specific genetic mutations or fossil records?
Molecular clocks are typically calibrated by comparing genetic mutations or fossil records to estimate the rate at which DNA changes over time. This helps scientists determine how long ago species diverged from a common ancestor.
What is the estimate of 7656?
to 1 significant digit: 8000 2 significant digits: 7700 3 significant digits: 7660 4 significant digits: 7656. 5 significant digits: 7656.0 6 significant digits: 7656.00 and so on and so forth for forever..........
Estimate for 5.07 times 0.81 please?
4.11, to the justified number of significant digits.
How many pounds is n 32 pounds?
Given conditions of standard temperature and pressure, and measuring in standard units with calibrated mensuration devices in a controlled laboratory environment, the best current estimate is precisely 32 of them.
What is the estimate of 959 329?
For an "estimate", I would suggest rounding it to one or two significant digits.
4.035 multiplied by 2.116 make a rough estimate and then give the answer correct to 3 significant figures?
8.235
Does estimate mean the same as round?
No, 'estimate' means to guess the value of something, while 'round' means either circular or is a process for truncating a value to fewer significant figures.
When you estimate do you round to the nearest ten or hundred?
For a quick estimate, you would usually round to one, sometimes to two, significant digits. One significant digit means discarding all digits after the first, i.e., converting them to zero (and rounding the remaining digit up or down as appropriate).
How do use a calculator to estimate roots of numbers?
The calculator already gives you a square root (or other root) with 8 or 10 significant digits, and does so quickly; there is no need to "estimate". However, you can round the result if you like.
What is the estimate sum of 8.91 plus 1.16?
To quickly estimate a sum, you round both numbers to the nearest easy significant figure. In this case 8.91 can be rounded up to 9. 1.16 can be rounded down to 1. You then complete the sum with the rounded figures. 9+1 = 10, so the estimate of 8.91+1.16 is 10.
