pounds and ounces - are used only in the United States. The rest of the world uses a kilogram as the standard measure of mass making it MORE standard. A mass of one kilogram is said to weight one kilogram at the Earth's surface.(about). Its about time the USA caught up with the rest of the world.

What is the estimd population mean of sample 36 mean weight 3.01 standard diviation 03?

The answer will depend on the population mean of what variable? Height?, length or is it simply weight. If it is weight, the estimated (not estimd) population mean is 3.01 units: the same as the sample mean. The standard deviation (not diviation) is irrelevant.The answer will depend on the population mean of what variable? Height?, length or is it simply weight.

Can weight astronomical units and mass be measured in pounds?

Astronomical units are units of distance, not weight or mass, so they cannot be measured in pounds. Mass can be measured in pounds, but it is more commonly measured in kilograms in scientific contexts due to the International System of Units (SI) being the standard system for scientific measurements.

What is the measurement units for weight?

The standard international unit of weight is the kilogram.Other measurement units exist, such as the pound.1 kilogram = 2.2 poundsAnswerUnfortunately, the original answer confuses 'weight' and 'mass'. The kilogram is the SI base unit for mass, NOT weight. Weight is a force and, therefore, measured in newtons. Similarly, the pound is used to measure mass, NOT weight.


Measurements are meaningless if standard units are used why is that?

To explain WHY that statement is true would be almost impossible, because thestatement is false.Measurements are meaningless if standard units are NOT used. They are meaningfulONLY if standard units ARE used. The reason is that in order for your measurementsto mean anything to someone else, he has to know and understand the units of yourmeasurement. It doesn't tell you a thing to know that I'm 2,645.02 time-units old,254 length-units tall, and weigh 6.318 weight-units. You need definitions of thoseunits before you know anything about me.
