Ch. 2 Lesson 2 Mathematics and Science

A way to determine how accurate an experimental value is

• median

• percent error

• anomalous data

• mean

Data that do not fit with the rest of the data

• anomalous data

• accuracy

• percision

• significant figures

An approximation of a number based on reasonable assumption

• significant figure

• accuracy

• percision

• estimate

How close a group of measurements are to each other

• mode

• mean

• accuracy

• precision

How close a measurement is to the true or accepted value

• anomalous data

• accuracy

• precision

• significant figures

The difference between the greatest value and the least value in any given set of data

• mean

• mode

• range

• median

The number that appears most often in any given set of data

• mean

• mode

• median

• range

The middle number in any given set of data

• mean

• mode

• median

• range

The numerical average of a set of data

• mean

• mode

• median

• range

A measurement of all digits measured exactly plus one estimated digit

• accuracy

• precision

• significant figures

• estimate
