Describe what the labels on the graph should look like.
The axes should always be labeled with the variable that's measured and the units of measurement in parenthesis.
26
Strong Correlation
the closer the data points are to the line of best fit, the stronger the correlation
27
Line of best fit
goes in the middle of the data with an equal number of data above and below the lines.
28
Negative correlation
exists if increasing 1 variable causes the other to decrease
29
Positive correlation
Exists if increasing 1 variable causes the other to increase
30
Interpolate
Using the line of best fit, estimate where new data would fall inside the current data set
31
Extrapolate
Use the line of best fit to determine where new data would go outside of the data set
32
Colloid
Particles not big enough to be filtered, can use Tyndall effect to determine if a colloid
33
simple suspension
particles will separate upon standing
34
In SN, the _ must be a number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10
coefficient
35
hi
the powers must be the same. Add / subtract coefficients, keep the exponents
36
hi
Multiply coefficients and add exponents

48
What is accuracy
the degree of closeness of measurement to the true/accepted value.
49
Formula for accuracy
A - E /A x 100
50
What does a positive percent of error mean?
your experimental value is lower than accepted
51
What does a negative percent of error mean?
Your experimental value was higher than the accepted
52
Precision / repeatability
the degree to which repeated measurements under changed conditions show the same results. Experiments must be completed at least 3 times.
53
How does glassware relate to precision?
The tighter the range of marking on a piece of glassware, the more precise it is.
54
What do leading zeroes indicate?
Magnitude. They are not significant.
55
Are trailing zeroes significant when a decimal is present?
Yes
56
Are trailing zeroes significant when a decimal is not present?
No
57
What values are always significant in SN?
All in front of the "x 10".
