the estimated digit in 0.503 is 3
It would be the one closest to the right. so in this case for 0.503 it would be the .003 .
0.003 L
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measurement of how well one's kidneys are functioning. It is typically estimated on the basis of serum creatinine levels. One can learn their estimated GFR by visiting their physician.
inches for length measurement, and seconds for angular measurement
A measurement close to true size is referred to as Precision Measurement.
The amount used to measure something is referred to as unit. There are varied units of measure like pounds, joules, Celsius, meters and so much more.
41.3 is an exact measurement.
500
There need not be any estimated digit but, if there must be one, then it is the last digit: 3.
Your measurement should include one estimated digit.
0.503..the 3
Read the numerical value of the marked line. Finally you estimate between the smallest marked lines. The estimated value is the final digit in a measures number.
A pointless exercise! If it has been measured exactly then what is the point of adding one digit which has been estimated?
The significant figures in a measurement include all digits measured exactly, plus one estimated digit.
Yes, but then there is no point in using an instrument that is that accurate!
the estimated digit in 0.0782m is?
It includes all of the digits that have been measured exactly, plus one estimated digit.
There need no be any estimated digit.
It depends on what kind of measurement you are making, but it would generally be the digit farthest to the right. For example, if you have good eyes and a good ruler, and you are measuring something in millimeters, you can estimate tenths of a millimeter. Suppose the length of a rectangle is between 74 and 75 mm. Look closely between the millimeter marks on the ruler. Suppose the end of the rectangle is about a third of the way from the 74 to the 75, then you good estimate that the length is 74.3 mm. The digit you estimated is the last one, the 3.
