Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 62E

A thermometer gives a reading of 96.1°F ± 0.2°F. What is the temperature in °C? What is the uncertainty?

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Calculate the following and express the answers with the correct number of significant figures. 1)       34g/10.1mL = ___________________________ 2)       61 * 10 6J/0.0034s = _______________________
How many number of significant figures are in the measurement 3.88 x 10-3 dm?
I don't understand the wording. The least significant digit means the last digit?  7.700 X 2.1 = 16.17     would the uncertainty be  0.01 ? 2.132 + 17 + 4.04 = 23.172   would the uncertainty be 0.001 ?
