Ch 3.1 The Importance of Measurement
Qualitative Measurement – measurement that gives descriptive nonnumeric results
Example: Feel some ones head to see if they are running a fever or not
Quantitative Measurement – measurement that gives definite usually numeric results
Example: Measure some ones temperature with a thermometer

Scientific Notation
Used to write small or large numbers
N x 10n
N = a number between 1 and 10
n = a positive or negative integer

Coefficient
Scientific notation has three parts to it: the coefficient, base, and exponent
![Page 7: Chapter 3 Scientific Measurement. Ch 3.1 The Importance of Measurement](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061603/56649e5e5503460f94b58637/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Scientific Notation: Multiply and Divide
Multiply coefficients and add exponents(3.0 x 104) x (2.0 x 102) = 6.0 x 106
Divide coefficients and subtract exponents(3.0 x 104) / (2.0 x 102) = 1.5 x 102
![Page 8: Chapter 3 Scientific Measurement. Ch 3.1 The Importance of Measurement](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061603/56649e5e5503460f94b58637/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Scientific Notation: Addition and Subtraction
Make the exponents the same, then add or subtract
3.0 x 104 + 2.0 x 102 =
300.0 x 102 + 2.0 x 102 = 302.0 x 102

Accuracy and Precision
Accuracy – how close a measurement is to the true value of the quantity measured
Precision – how closely two or more measurements of the same quantity agree with one another
