Question 14

Rounding Rules for Sig Figs that DO NOT END in a perfect 5

Answer 14

Apply basic rounding rules- if the digits after the appropriate sig figs are greater than 5, round up. If they are smaller, round down.

Answer 17

1050

Question 18

Define the Arcane Rounding Rule

Answer 18

If the number ends in a PERFECT (meaning ever number after is a zero or 5 is the last number)- the digit before the 5 determines the rounding- if it is an even number, it says the same but if it is odd it goes up.

Question 19

Why is the Arcane Rounding Rule so important?

Answer 19

The Arcane Rounding Rule is important because of statistics. It is used to make sure all the data doesn’t artificially increase

Question 20

Question 22

Addition and Subtraction using Sig Figs

Answer 22

After the operation, round to the smallest number to the right of the decimal

Question 23

56.1+23.22

Answer 23

(79.32) it is 79.3 because since the smallest number is 1, you round to the tenths place

Question 24

Rules for Multiplication and Division

Answer 24

After performing the operations, round to the number of the least number of sig figs

Question 25

1030*5.1

Answer 25

ANSWER- 5200 (5253)- 5.1 has the least amount of sigs figs (2) so you round to two sig figs as such. So then, that will 5200. (3 is less than 5 so round down and 5 and 2 are the first two sig figs)

Question 26

Working with Multiple Givens

Answer 26

Your final answer should have the same number of sig figs as the number with the least amount of sig figs
