Uncertainty in measurement

A measurement has some degree of uncertainty
Estimation

Different people estimate differently

When recording data
 Rerecord
all certain number and include one estimated number
Scientific Notation

A system of writing big and small numbers
4.67 x 106
5.23 x10-3
Base Number (argument) – tells the value
Times (X) and Exponent – tells the scale of the number

If exponent is negative


Number is smaller than one
If exponent is positive

Number is greater than one
Significant Figures Counting
Nonzero
digits
Nonzero
digits always count as
significant figures.
For example, the number 1457 has
four nonzero integers, all of which
count as significant figures.

Significant Figures Counting
Zeros1.
Leading zeros are zeros that precede all of the nonzero digits.
A.
2.
They never count as sig. figs.
Captive zeros fall between nonzero numbers.
B.
3.
Three classes
They always count as sig. figs.
Trailing zeros happen at the right end of a number.
C.
They are significant only if the number is written with a decimal
point.
i.
EX. 100 vs 100.
Exact Numbers
 Numbers
that were not obtained using measuring but
were determined by counting
 Examples
of exact numbers: 10 experiments, 3 apples, 1910
students at SBHS, 8 molecules .
They
have an infinite number of significant digits.
 Exact
numbers apply to conversion factors and
definitions.
 EX.
1 inch = 2.54 cm. or 1 pound equals 454 grams.
the
1 isn’t used to determine the significant figures
because it is an exact number

Rules for Rounding Numbers
1.
If the digit to be removed
A.
is less than 5
i.
B.
the preceding digit stays
the same.
is equal to or greater than 5,
i.
the preceding digit is
increased by 1.
In a series of calculations,
carry the extra digits
through to the final result
and then round off.
****This means you should
carry all the digits in your
calculator until you get
the answer and then round
off according to RULE #1.
Conversion Factors
Changing one unit into another or dimensional analysis
•
•
Read problem carefully
Check Units in the problem
See if starting and ending units are in
the same category
•
if not look for a relationship to relate
them
•
•
Steps to Solve
1.
Begin with what you are given
2.
put units you want to finish with after
the =
3.
Determine number of significant figures
and round answer to meet this

Accuracy vs. Precision

Accuracy-describes how
close a measurement is to
the correct or (accepted)
value of the thing you are
measuring
 Measured
% Error =

by Percent Error
|𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒍 −𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒅|
𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒
Must be Memorized
X 100
Precision-the degree
of exactness of a
measurement; how
reproducible a
measurement is
Percent Error Example
Example: a student measures the mass of an object
to be 2.59 grams. The actual mass is usually 2.85
grams. What is the % error?
% Error =
|𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒍 −𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒅|
𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒
2.59 −2.85
X 100
2.85
(.0912) X 100 =9.12% error

Density

Mass
Volume
Units: g/ cm3
 Amount
of matter per unit volume in a given
substance
