Expert Solution
Step 1

1. Volume measured by the student is 48.93 ml . Thus 4, 8 and 9 are the certain numbers where as some student noticed the volume as 48.92 ml and some other as 48.94 ml. Their average is 48.93 ml 

Thus uncertainty digit is 3 

Thus correct option is (e)

2. The prefix mili means 10-3 of unit.

as  unit

   deci 

  Centi 

   Mili 

and 1 unit = 10 deci = 100 centi = 1000 mili

Then 1 mili = 1/1000 unit = 10-3 unit
