  1. Ch. 1: “Introduction to Science” Section 3: “Organizing Data”

  2. 1. Describe the kind of data best displayed as a line graph. • A line graph is best for displaying data that change. See Figure 1-17 pg. 21.

  3. 2. Describe the kind of data that is best displayed as a pie chart. • A pie chart is ideal for displaying data that are parts of a whole. See Figure 1-19 pg. 22.

  4. 3. Explain in your own words the difference between accuracy & precision. • Accuracy is the degree of correctness while precision is the degree of reproducibility.

  5. 4. Critical Thinking: An old riddle asks, Which weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of lead? Answer the question, & explain why you think people sometimes answer incorrectly. • They both weigh the same, one pound. • The difference between a pound of feathers and a pound of lead is the volume. A pound of feathers would be a large bag of feathers, but a pound of lead can easily be held in your hand.

  6. 5. Convertthe following measurements to scientific notation: a. 15 400 mm3 = b. 0.000 33 kg = c. 2050 mL = d.0.000 015 mol = 1.54 X 104 mm3 3.3 X 10-4 kg 2.05 X 103 mL 1.5 X 10-5 mol

  7. 6. Calculate the following: a. (3.16 X 103 m)(2.91 X 104 m) = 91 956 000 m2 = 9.1956 X 107 m2 b.(1.85 X 10-3 cm)(5.22 X 10-2 cm) = 0.00009657 cm2 = 9.657 X 10-5 cm2 c. 9.04 X 105 g ÷ 1.35 X 105 cm3 = 6.696296296 g/cm3

  8. 7. Calculate the following, & round the answers to the correct number of significant figures. a. (54.2 cm) (22 cm) = 1192.4 cm2 = 1.2 X 103 cm2 b. 23 500 m ÷ 89 s = 264.0449438 m/s = 2.6 X 102 m/s
