Accuracy and precision

• What do a group of numbers look like which are precise but not accurate?

• If a group of numbers are accurate, are they precise?

Significant figures in measurements

• .00047• 74000• 7007• 74000.• 74.00• .007400• What are the rules for addition?• What are the rules for multiplication?

Rounding
