Were to get a thermometer?
You can buy thermometers from almost any stores. Local stores such as department stores and drug stores commonly sell different types of thermometers for your needs. There are different types of thermometers such as laboratory thermometers, digital thermometer, food thermometer, wireless bbq thermometer, outdoor thermometer, room thermometer, and clinic thermometer.
What is the difference between accuracy and precision and which is most important to scientific measurement?
Both accuracy and precision are important to scientific measurement. I'll try to explain the difference with a couple of illustrations. I should start by saying, sometimes the words are used interchangeably but they shouldn't be. I consider precision to mean resolution. That is how fine/small a reading you can get.Assume an electronic thermometer (digital display) can display answers to the nearest one hundredth of a degree. But, the thermometer isn't able to measure with that accurately. Maybe it's only accurate to the nearest whole degree. In this case the precision is greater than is supported by the accuracy of the device.Now take the opposite case where the thermometer is able to measure temperature accurately to one hundredth of a degree but the instrument can only display whole degrees. In this case the precision does not support the accuracy.Ideally the accuracy and precision of an instrument are the same but often that's not the case.
If the inside of a microwave oven has a volume of 1.2 cubic feet and measures 18 inches wide and 10 inches long To the nearest tenth how deep is the inside of the microwave?
11.5 inches
Why does the clinical thermometer have a short range?
Well, think of it this way. Each instrument has limitations or applications for a specific use. The use dictates the need for resolution and limitation. For example, if one wanted to weigh an elephant, one would not seek a resolution to the nearest tenth of a microgram, since such resolution would be meaningless (an elephant could fart, and alter the weight at that resolution). So, one would not pick a five place analytical balance, rather one would pick an instrument that would provide an appropriate resolution, (perhaps to the nearest pound). We have traded resolution and limited the range. Similarly, with a clinical thermometer, there would be no use in having an upper range of 2,000 °F and lower range of minus 40 °F since such temperatures are not applicable in the clinician's world. Therefore, far better to select a range that is applicable, and then increase the resolution to an appropriate scale (say 0.1 °F).
What is 218.99 pound to the nearest 10 pound?
Rounded to the nearest ten pounds, 218.99 is approximately equal to 220 pounds.
A thermometer measures temperature to the nearest 0.5 and degC. Which measurement shows an appropriate level of precision for the thermometer?
the answer is 16.0 °C
A digital thermometer sHow is the temperature as 21.2 C The thermometer is precise to the nearest?
0.01
What was the minimum temperature to the nearest degree for the thermometer shown here?
There's no thermometer shown here.
How do you determine temperature to the nearest degree?
You use an accurate thermometer.
Is temperature is continuous or discrete variables?
Temperature is continuous. Think about it. You may be only able to tell to the nearest tenth of a degree, but that is just due to your thermometer's accuracy. It can be anywhere in between two temperature values.
When using a thermometer it should be measured to the nearest?
