The data only varies in the fourth decimal place. The data varies in the first decimal place. While the accuracy is reasonable compared to the analytical balance, the precision is not. The bathroom scale is not something one would want to use for scientific measurements! It is possible to have good precision and poor accuracy. An instrument calibrated improperly, for example. Rules for counting significant figures (left-to-right): Zeros in the middle of a number are like any other digit; they are always significant. Zeros at the beginning of a number are not significant (placeholders). Zeros at the e
