Measurement units of measurement uncertainty in measurement, accuracy and precision dimensional analysis
Some common units of measurement for uncertainty in measurement include:
- Percent uncertainty (%)
- Standard deviation (e.g. cm, g, s)
- Relative uncertainty (no unit)
Units of measurement for accuracy and precision may include:
- Decimal places (e.g. cm, g, s)
- Significant figures (e.g. cm, g, s)
- Tolerance range (e.g. cm, g, s)
Dimensional analysis typically involves using units of measurement to ensure the consistency and validity of calculations. Units of measurement for dimensional analysis are the same as those used in the physical quantities being measured, such as length (meters), mass (grams), and time (seconds).
