Question

Problem 3

Answer 1

Given information

Given that it is inaccurate to think that the more digits you include in your answer, the more accurate it is and we are asked to explain this fact.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

Increasing the number of digits in a solution has no effect on its accuracy. It represents the precision with which one knows a measurement. Consider an example in which one measures the length of a door to great precision but the measuring device is incorrectly calibrated. This will not give an accurate measurement.
