Question

The precision of a voltmeter is ±0.005 V. The accepted value for a measurement is 9.016 V. Which measurement is in the accepted range?

Answer 1

Since there are no choices given, let us just solve for the acceptable range of values. The problem states that the precision of a voltmeter is +- 0.005 V. Meaning, the value can deviate by this amount positively or negatively. Since our accepted value is 9.016 V, then the acceptable range would be 9.011 V ~ 9.021 V.
