Zeros, significant adding

The answer must be expressed using one place to the right of the decimal to match the 8.0. A typical calculator answer would probably be 7, requiring that a zero be added to the right of the decimal to provide the correct number of significant figures. 

Once again, a zero was added to the calculator answer of 0.75 to give an answer with three significant figures to match the three in 0.150 and 0.200. Both of the 1 numbers are exact counting numbers. 

Sometimes a calculator display consists of a small whole number. Then we add one or more significant zeros to the calculator display to obtain the correct number of significant figures. For example, suppose the calculator display is 4, but you used measurements that have three significant numbers. Then two significant zeros are added to give 4.00 as the correct answer. 

One or more significant zeros are added when the calculator display has fewer digits than the needed number of significant... 

The process of calculation becomes more complicated on adding further terms. Coats and Redfem [555] effectively put (U-2)/U equal to a constant value and the relationship is equivalent to that already given for In g i/T2 from the single term expansion. They assumed that f(q) = (1 — q)" and determined n by testing values which have significance in solid state decomposition reactions (i.e. n = 0, 0.5, 0.67 and 1.00). Sharp [75,556] has shown that the approach may be applied to other functions of g(q). If it is assumed that the zero-order equation applied at low a, as q -> 0, then g(q) == a. 

The mean difference between methods should ideally be zero. However, if it is felt that the clinical difference between the methods is not significant, then the mean difference can simply be added to or subtracted from the results of one method in order to bring them into line with the gold standard. The amount by which the mean differs from zero is called the bias. 

For purposes of illustration only, to circumvent the problem of a zero determinant but still show the distributions of uncertainty and information in this design, a seventh experiment was added at a factor combination just slightly removed from one of the hexagonal points (at jc, = 2.000, X2 = 0.001). The hexagonal points were also adjusted somewhat to coincide with the grid lines in the pseudo-three-dimensional plots (this is equivalent to a minor adjustment of scale in the X2 dimension). Neither of these modifications significantly affects the overall conclusions to be drawn from this example. The actual design is...
