MAD30S – Degree of Precision and Greatest Possible Error

Today we investigated how to find the degree of precision (eg. 4.3 cm, the degree of precision is 0.1 cm). Then we learned how to calculate the Greatest Possible Error G.P.E. (eg 0.1 cm x 0.5 = .05 cm for the GPE).  We did the assignments in class. Tuesday and Wednesday will be review for the exam. We will finish up with tolerances on Thursday.
