Unit Test 1 Flashcards
Accuracy
How closely a measured value agrees with the True(Reference) value.
Precision
How closely measurements agree with each other - more DPs more precise
How to fix Random Errors?
More Trials/Increase Sample Size/More Precise Device
How to Average Values with Uncerts.
Avg of Measurements + Avg of Uncerts.
Giga/Mega/Kilo/Deci/Centi/Milli/Micro/Nano
9/6/3/-1/-2/-3/-6/-9
Discrete Data
Points can be joined - plotted as bar chart
Continuous Data
Best fit line can connect data
Coefficient R
+1/Perfect Positive Linear
0/No Linear Trend
-1/Perfect Negative Linear
Error Propaagation
Slope Uncert.
Tangent
Drawn as Large as possible to minimize uncert.
Interpolation
Assume Pattern applies between points
Extrapolation
Extend Trend Beyond Measurement Range
Matter
Mass and Volume
Pure Substances
Element or Compound - (Ionic or Molecular)
Mixtures
Solutions(Steel and Brass) or Suspensions(Blood) or Mechanical
Extensive Property
Depends on Amount - Mass, Volume
Intensive Property
Depends of Nature - Density, Melting Point
Distillation
For liquid-liquid Solutions - Based on Melting Point
Gas Distilled called Distillate
