The accuracy is associated with magnitude of fractional error or relative error in that measurement

the precision of a measurement is associated with least count of the measuring instrument.

precision does not mean accuracy but both are highly demanded while making measurements in physics.

So I am lost and I don't know how what any of those conversion factor things are and I'm wondering how to do #2,3, and 4. (I did
dalvyx [7]

Explanation:

#2.

A centigram is 1/100 of a gram, so that means a gram equals 100 centigrams.

Therefore you multiply 72.4 grams by 100/1 (or just 100), and get 7240 cg.

You did that one right but put the wrong unit in the answer. It is is cg ( centigrams).

#3.

1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters, and I kiloliter is equal to 1000 liters. So one kiloliter is 1000*1000 milliliters or 1,000,000 milliliters.

The conversion factor would be

1/1000000

#4.

1 gigabyte is equal to 10^9 bytes.

I byte is equal to 10^9 bytes.

So 1 gigabyte is 10^9 * 10^9 nanobytes, or 10^18.

The conversion factor would be (1*10^18)/1.

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

A)  yes

B) The average mass of 12 pennies should be expressed as

( 3.131 + 3.129 + -------- X12 ) g /  12

where X12 = is the mass of the 12th penny

Explanation:

A) I think the the Bureau of Mint changed the way it made pennies because from the experiment and observation carried out on 15 different pennies it can be seen that they had different weights and this difference is associated with the period/time of production of the different pennies,

B ) The average mass of any object should be expressed in the si unit of mass and not having ($) sign attached to the value instead it should be expressed in grams or kilograms (s.i unit of mass )

The average mass of 12 pennies should be expressed as

( 3.131 + 3.129 + -------- X12 ) g /  12

where X12 = is the mass of the 12th penny
