What does it most likely mean if a graph shows no identifiable trends? 1.The graph has no use or value 2.There are more than two variables. 3. There is a strong relationship between the variables. 4. There is no relationship between the variables.

If scientists cannot obtain exact numbers, they should rely on a(n) 1.estimate 2.calculation 3.guess 4.assumption

To determine how close to the true value an experimental value is, you would use 1. significant figures 2. a precision calculation 3. a median 4. a percent error calculation

A line graph in which the data points fall along a straight line is called a 1.Non-linear graph 2.Linear graph 3.Anomolous graph 4.Subjective graph

A group of parts that work together is called a: 1.system. 2.technology. 3.process. 4. feedback.

The significant figures in a measurement include 1. only the digits that have been measured exactly. 2. the digits that have been measured exactly, plus one digit whose value has been estimated. 3. only the digit whose value has been estimated. 4. only zeroes that are after the decimal point.

The average of a set of data is called the 1.Mode 2.Median 3.Range 4.Mean

To calculate the density of an object, you would 1.Multiply the mass by the volume 2.Divide the mass by the volume 3.Find the l x w x h and multiply by the mass 4.Divide the volume by the mass

Mass and weight are different because 1.Gravity affects mass 2.Weight is amount of matter in an object 3.You have more mass on the moon than weight 4.Gravity affects weight

The amount of space an object takes up is its 1.Density 2.Mass 3.Volume 4.Weight

The official SI unit of temperature is 1.Celsius 2.Kelvin 3.Fahrenheit 4.0 for freezing, 100 for boiling

A line graph shows 1.changes in the independent variable 2.how the dependent variable changes in response to the independent variable. 3.what variables were controlled in an experiment 4.the input, process and output of a system

The closeness of all the measurements to each other is called 1.Accuracy 2.Estimation 3.Percent error 4.Precision

The closeness of the measurements to the actual answer is called 1.Precision 2.Accuracy 3.Sig figs 4.Estimation
