The smaller the value of the least increment, the more precise a number is.

Length measured to the nearest 1/8 inch will be more precisely specified than length measured to the nearest 1/4 inch.

_____

In general, <em>precision</em> has little to do with <em>accuracy</em>—how close the measured value is to the actual value. A measurement can be very precise, but just plain wrong. (Many electronic instruments have resolution (precision) that exceeds their accuracy. That is, one or two (or more) of the least-significant displayed digits may be in error.)

Softa [21]

Answer:

a). 4.86\times 10^{-15} m

b). 4.21\times 10^{-2} m³

c). 7.00\times 10^{3} N²

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have to convert each option into SI units.

a). 4.86(10^{-6})^{2} mm

= 4.86\times (10^{-12})\times (10^{-3} ) m

= 4.86\times 10^{-15} m

b). (348 mm)³

= (348)^{3}\times (10^{-3})^{3} m³

= 42144192\times 10^{-9} m³

= 4.21\times 10^{-2} m³

c). (83700)^{2}\times (10^{-3})^{2} N²

= 700569\times 10^{4}\times 10^{-6} N²

= 7.00\times 10^{9}\times 10^{-6}N^{2}

= 7.00\times 10^{3} N²
