Question 1113668: If N=2.37 represents a measurement, then we assume an accuracy of 2.37+_0.005. Express the accuracy assumption using an absolute value inequality. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
However, an absolute value inequality is inappropriate for expressing an accuracy assumption because the actual assumption is:
which properly expresses the rounding rules. You cannot be inclusive of equality on one end while exclusive of equality on the other end with an absolute value inequality.
