It can be difficult to determine the number of significant figures in a value when zeros are present. The number of significant figures in a value gives an idea as to its precision. Select all true statements regarding significance of zeros. For zeros before the decimal, trailing zeros are significant. | Zeros between non-zero values are always significant. For zeros after the decimal, leading zeros are significant. For zeros after the decimal, trailing zeros are significant. In any measurement, zeros are always significant.

Determine the absolute uncertainty for the calculated value in the following scenarios. Express as (computed result) ± (absolute uncertainty) (units). You measure the volume of a stainless steel sphere by placing it into a100 mL graduated cylinder with an uncertainty of 1 mL, with 20 mL ofwater initially. After the sphere settles, the graduated cylinder now reads22 mL. What is the volume with uncertainty? Please use the formula I posted ! Thank you!

please do it in guss method no other way Solving problems in Physics, we must always use GUESS method.Guess stands for: Guess: G Here you write down what is given in the questionUnknown: U Here you list what you have to calculate, to solve for.Equations: E here you list all the formulas you need to use to solve the problemSubstitution: S This first letter S in the word, you will just substitute what is given in theformula. You do not calculate anything. The calculations will occur at the second S: Solve. Whatis very important here is to carry with you the units of measure in the formula. Not only thenumbers. This is very important, once again.Solve: S The last step, second S, you will solve what you plugged in the first S for Substitution.Very important here is to manipulate the units of measure such that the final units of measureto be proved by your work. This part is very important, since you will allow you to verify thatwhat you do is correct. For example, you calculate for…

Question 6 5 p A standardized exam is known to be normally distributed with a mean score of 82 and a standard deviation of 6.58 in the examination. (Hint: so this means you can convert individual exam scores to z-scores and calculate percentile rank). One student named Amy has an exam score of 78. For Amy's score, compute the corresponding z score. Make sure to round the z-score to the nearest hundredth place (Hint if the z-score is 0.3615, then you round it to 0.36).
