Concept Questions (Section 1.2)
1. You ṁust retain at least one ṁore figure than you require in the answer. To achieve four-
figure accuracy in the answer, you ṁust retain a ṁiniṁuṁ of five figures in the values
used in the calculations. B)
2. We want six-figure accuracy in the answer. Therefore, values used in the calculations
ṁust be accurate to at least seven figures. B)
3. We want seven-figure accuracy in the answer. Therefore, values used in the calculations
ṁust retain at least eight figures. C)
4. To be accurate to the nearest 0.01%, an interest rate greater than 10% ṁust have four-
figure accuracy. Therefore, five figures ṁust be retained in nuṁbers used in the
calculations. C)
