The Learning Goal for this assignment is:<br />

Determine appropriate and consistent standards of measurement<br />

for the data to be collected in a survey or experiment.<br />

Notes Section:<br />

There are three rules a numbers needs to have,<br />

to be considered of having significant figures in them.<br />

1.) Non-zero digits are always significant.<br />

Ex. 46.78 and 3.94 these are all significant figures.<br />

2.) Any zeros between two significant digits are significant.<br />

Ex. 960 and 70050 have zeros that are all significant figures.<br />

3.) A final zero or trailing zeros in the decimal portion only are significant.<br />

Ex. 0.07030 and 0.00800 have zeros at the end that significant figures.<br />

So the zeros in the beginning and in the middle of 7 and and 3 are NOT<br />

significant figures.<br />

Or in the second example, the zeros in the beginning are not significant.<br />
