Question

Iam pretty confused with this topic of significant figures and acurracy, precision etc.

Answer 1

Accuracy – a measure of the deviation of the measured value from the true or accepted value (% error, etc.)

Precision – a measure of the agreement of experimental measurements with each other (range, standard deviation, etc.)

Significant Figures -Digits expressing a measurement (or the results of a calculation involving such measurements) such that only the last digit is uncertain are called significant figures or significant digits.
