  2. Significant figures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures

    For example, 13 0 0 has three significant figures (and hence indicates that the number is precise to the nearest ten). Less often, using a closely related convention, the last significant figure of a number may be underlined; for example, "1 3 00" has two significant figures. A decimal point may be placed after the number; for example "1300."

    Thus 1 230 400 would become 1.2304 × 10 6 if it had five significant digits. If the number were known to six or seven significant figures, it would be shown as 1.230 40 × 10 6 or 1.230 400 × 10 6. Thus, an additional advantage of scientific notation is that the number of significant figures is unambiguous.

  4. Template:Significant figures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Significant_figures

    This template has two different functions dependent on input. If only one parameter is given the template counts the number of significant figures of the given number within the ranges 10 12 to 10 −12 and −10 −12 to −10 12.

    For example, 1300 x 0.5 = 700. There are two significant figures (1 and 3) in the number 1300, and there is one significant figure (5) in the number 0.5. Therefore, the product will have only one significant figure. When 650 is rounded to one significant figure the result is 700. For example, 1300 + 0.5 = 1301.

    The table shown on the right can be used in a two-sample t-test to estimate the sample sizes of an experimental group and a control group that are of equal size, that is, the total number of individuals in the trial is twice that of the number given, and the desired significance level is 0.05.

  7. Engineering notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_notation

    Engineering notation or engineering form (also technical notation) is a version of scientific notation in which the exponent of ten is always selected to be divisible by three to match the common metric prefixes, i.e. scientific notation that aligns with powers of a thousand, for example, 531×10 3 instead of 5.31×10 5 (but on calculator displays written without the ×10 to save space).

  9. Rounding - Wikipedia

    25.01, 25.1 are rounded to 26. In the example from "Double rounding" section, rounding 9.46 to one decimal gives 9.4, which rounding to integer in turn gives 9. With binary arithmetic, this rounding is also called "round to odd" (not to be confused with "round half to odd"). For example, when rounding to 1/4 (0.01 in binary),
