Uncertainty in Measurement
These results show that the first three
numbers (20.1) remain the same regardless ofwho makes the measurement; these are called
certain digits. (p5, 3)
The digit to the right of the 1 must beestimated and therefore varies; it is called an
uncertain digit.

Reporting a Measurement
We customarily report a measurement by
recording all the certain digits plus the firstuncertain digit. (p5, 3)
In our example it would not make any sense
to try to record the volume of thousandths ofa milliliter, because the value for hundredths
of a milliliter must be estimated when using
the buret.

Uncertainty in Measurement
A measurement always has some degree of
uncertainty. (p5, 4)
The uncertainty of a measurement depends on
the precision of the measuring device.

Significant Figures(有效數字)
Measurement = certain digits + the first
uncertain digit (the estimated number) (p5,r3)
These numbers are called the significant
figures of a measurement.

Uncertainty in the Last Number
The uncertainty in the last number (the
estimated number) is usually assumed to be1 unless otherwise indicated. (p5, r2)
The measurement 1.86 kilograms can be
taken to mean 1.86 0.01 kilograms.

Precision and Accuracy
Two terms often used to describe the
reliability of measurements are precision and accuracy. (p6, 2)
Accuracy( 準確度)refers to the agreement
of a particular value with the true value.

Precision and Accuracy
Precision( 精確度)refers to the degree of
agreement among several measurements ofthe same quantity. (p6, 2)
Precision reflects the reproducibility( 再現
性)of a given type of measurement.

Error
Random error( 隨機誤差)occurs in
estimating the value of the last digit of ameasurement. (p6, 3)
Systematic error(系統誤差)occurs in the
same direction each time; it is either alwayshigh or always low.

Average
In quantitative work, precision is often used
as an indication of accuracy.
We assume that the average of a series of
precise measurements (which should
“average out” the random errors) is accurate,or close to the “true” value.
This assumption is valid only if systematic
errors are absent.

Significant Figures and Calculations
Calculating the final result for an experiment
usually involves adding, subtracting,multiplying, or dividing the results of
various types of measurements. (p7, r2)
We have developed rules for counting thesignificant figures in each number and for
determining the correct number of
significant figures in the final result.

有效數字判斷規則(一)
pp7-8
非零數字均為有效。
零則區分為三種:
1. 非零數字前的零僅表示小數點的位置,均為無效。0.00000025→ 二位有效。
2. 夾在有效數字間的零均為有效。1008→
四位有效。

3. 小數末尾的零皆為有效;整數末端的零 則為無效。
100→
一位有效。
100.00→ 五位有效。
1.00 102→ 三位有效。
100.→ 三位有效。

Round Off (四捨五入)
p9, 4
計算完成後 才對答案做四捨五入 不要
在計算過程中 對個別數字四捨五入 然
後再計算
直接由下一位有效數字決定四捨五入。
4.348 取二位有效→ 4.3。
不是 4.348→ 4.35→ 4.4。
