A relative error of 5% indicates that the measurement is off by 5% of the true value.

Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true value.

Accuracy refers to how close a measured value is to the true value.

A precision of 0.01 cm implies that the measurement can vary by this amount, indicating the level of uncertainty.

The maximum error is typically taken as the least count of the measuring instrument, which is 0.1 cm.

The least count of a measuring instrument is the smallest value that can be measured accurately, which in this case is 0.1 cm.

Systematic errors lead to biased results, consistently deviating from the true value.

Systematic errors indicate a consistent bias in measurements.

Systematic errors can be corrected by subtracting the known error from the measured value.

An uncertainty of ±0.1 g indicates that the measurement can vary by 0.1 g from the reported value.

The range is calculated as (10.0 - 0.5) cm to (10.0 + 0.5) cm, which is 9.5 cm to 10.5 cm.

The number 3.00 kg has three significant figures.

Precision refers to the consistency of repeated measurements, regardless of their accuracy.

Precision refers to the consistency of repeated measurements, regardless of their accuracy.

Precision refers to the consistency of repeated measurements, regardless of their accuracy.

Uncertainty is often defined as the range of values within which the true value lies.

Absolute error is calculated as the absolute difference between the true value and the measured value, which is |50 - 48| = 2.

Absolute error = |Measured value - True value| = |50.0 cm - 48.0 cm| = 2.0 cm.

Absolute error = |Measured value - True value| = |50.0 cm - 52.0 cm| = 2.0 cm.

Absolute error is defined as the difference between the measured value and the true value.

Instrumental error occurs due to the limitations of the measuring instrument.

The error is the absolute difference between the measured value and the true value, which is |20.0 - 19.5| = 0.5 cm.

The error in measurement is the difference between the true value and the measured value, which is 100 - 95 = 5.

The least count of a standard vernier caliper is typically 0.01 cm.

The least count of a vernier caliper is the smallest measurement it can accurately read, which is 0.01 cm in this case.

Significant figures indicate the precision of a measurement, reflecting the certainty of the digits.

Percentage error = (|Measured - True| / True) × 100 = (|10.0 - 9.5| / 9.5) × 100 = 5.26%.

Percentage error is calculated as (|True Value - Measured Value| / True Value) * 100 = (|25 - 20| / 25) * 100 = 20%.

Percentage error = (|Measured - True| / True) × 100 = (|20.0 - 19.5| / 19.5) × 100 ≈ 2.56%.

Percentage error = |(True value - Measured value) / True value| * 100 = |(50 - 48) / 50| * 100 = 4%.
