prefixes

Question 4

is the consistency of a result.

Answer 4

Precision

Question 5

is determined when a certain quantitative value is
relatively close to the “true value”

Answer 5

Accuracy

Question 6

is the uncertainty
that arises from a scale reading which results from the
uncontrolled variables in the measurement.

Answer 6

RANDOM ERROR (indeterminate error)

Question 7

is the uncertainty that may come
from a flaw in the equipment used or design of an experiment. These error
are usually caused by measuring instruments that are incorrect calibrated or
are used incorrect.

Answer 7

SYSTEMATIC ERROR (determinate error)

that are known certainty with an additional one digit
which is uncertain.

Answer 9

Significant figures

Question 11

is one of the common measurements
done in the laboratory. It involves getting Mass, Volume and
Temperature of an Object.
