What does the term OHM mean?

It is a unit of measurement to measure the resistance an object possesses when electricity flows through it.


What is the best way to measure a peptide's size is it by mean molecular weight Daltons or by percent by number?

The best way to measure a peptide's size is typically by mean molecular weight in Daltons. This provides a quantitative measure of the peptide's mass, which can help with characterization and comparison. Percent by number can be useful for understanding the relative distribution of different peptide sizes in a sample, but molecular weight is a more precise and widely used measurement for individual peptides.


What is Limit of precision?

The precision of something just means that the result can be repeated again and again. Everytime you repeat an experiment, you will get the same result. But that doesn't necessarily mean that the results are accurate! Your measurments, results, whatever can be very precise, but completely inaccurate. Accuracy is how close something is to the true value. For example, say I have a ruler. I have used this ruler to measure my table 10 times. Every time I measure the table, I get a measurement of 10ft. My measurement is very precise. However, what I don't know is that there is a fault with my ruler. The inches on my ruler are not true inches. Each inch may actually be only 1/9th of an inch. Or all the inches on my ruler may not even be the same. So while my measurements I took with my ruler 10 times are precise, they are not accurate because there is fault with my ruler. Something can be precise, but not necessarily accurate! I would say that this is the biggest limitation of precision. A precise measurement is not always a reliable one!


What does it mean to weigh accurately about 1.0 gram of something?

This is a lesson in significant figures and the importance of knowing what those significant figures represent. To measure out 1.0 grams of a substance, you need to weigh out between 1.05 and 1.14 grams of the substance. This is much more precise than weighing out 1 gram of a substance, which could be anything from 0.50 to 1.49 grams. The addition of the zero after the decimal point makes the measurement much more precise.


What do you measure in fingers?

Fingers are often used as a simple unit of measurement for small lengths or heights. For example, you can measure the length of an object in fingers, like a smartphone or pencil. This method is not precise but can give a rough estimate.

Can a measurement be precise without being accurate?

Yes, a measurement can be precise without being accurate. Precision refers to how close repeated measurements are to each other, while accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true value. It is possible for measurements to be consistently close to each other (precise) but consistently off from the true value (inaccurate).


Is 42.3 ounce more precise than 35.6 tons?

Unfortunately, there is not a simple answer: it depends on what you mean by "more precise". Both have three significant figures and to that extend they are equally precise. However, the maximum possible percentage errors in the two measurements are approximately 100*0.05/42.3 = 0.12% and 100*0.05/35.6 = 0.14%, respectively. On that basis, 42.3 ounces is more precise in relative terms. Also, the measurement units are smaller for 42.3 ounces so in absolute terms the measurement is more precise.


What does it mean to round to the least precise measurement?

Round to whatever non-zero digit is farthest to the left.


What does rse 825 stamp mean on earring?

I do not know 825 but RSE The relative standard error (RSE) is a measure of the reliability of a survey statistic. The smaller the relative standard error, the more precise the estimate.


Explain why is a highly precise measurement doesn't not always mean a highly accurate one?

Accurate means how close the measured value is to the real, actual value. Precise means how reproducible the measurement is. So, if the real value is 1.00, and you measure it to be 0.785, and every time you measure it, it comes out the same (0.785), then the measurement is VERY precise, but not very accurate.


What does measure mean in science?

In science, a measure refers to obtaining numerical values or data to quantify a physical quantity or property. It involves using instruments or tools to collect accurate and precise data for analysis and comparison. Measurement is crucial in scientific research to draw conclusions, make predictions, and test hypotheses.


How can you tell how accurate a measurement is?

To check the precision of an instrument its apparent measurement must be compared to a known measurement. The difference between the measured quantity divided by the known quantity is expressed as a % precision of the instrument, or calibration. Most instruments when being calibrated are tested against multiple known quantities throughout the range of the instrument. Thus the precision of the instrument is determined throughout it's full range of measurement.


How do you measure mean length?

You measure a great number of them, keeping records of every measurement, and then you calculate the average of all of the measurements.


What one what words means the degree to which a measurement is precise and reliable is it variable or accuracy or parameter or constant?

-- None of those words relates to "precise". -- "Accuracy" relates to "reliable". -- "Precision" and "accuracy" are two different things. -- "Precise" does not mean "reliable".


What does barleycorn mean in units of measurement?

It is an obsolete unit of measure, equal to one third of an inch.


What does inched means?

It doesn't mean anything. It is simply a unit of measure.


What is smaller than a picosecond?

pico- is a prefix that can be added to any measurement to mean divide by 1,000,000,000,000. femto- is smaller and means / 1,000,000,000,000,000. atto- is even smaller and means / 1,000,000,000,000,000,000.
