Question

The thermometer on the left displays a digital signal (reading). The thermometer on the right displays an analog signal (reading).

1 )How many values can the digital thermometer show between 980 and 98.50? What are those values?






2)How many values can the analog thermometer show between 980 and 98.50? What are those values?






3)Which thermometer is more accurate and why?

Answer 1

1.The digital thermometer will be able to show values between 980 and 98.50 with increments of 0.01. The specific values that can be shown are 980.00, 980.01, 980.02, 980.03, 980.04, 980.05, 980.06, 980.07, 980.08, 980.09, 980.10, 980.11, 980.12, 980.13, 980.14, 980.15, 980.16, 980.17, 980.18, 980.19, 980.20, 980.21, 980.22, 980.23, 980.24, 980.25, 980.26, 980.27, 980.28, 980.29, 980.30, 980.31, 980.32, 980.33, 980.34, 980.35, 980.36, 980.37, 980.38, 980.39, 980.40, 980.41, 980.42, 980.43, 980.44, 980.45, 980.46, 980.47, 980.48, 980.49, 980.50, 980.51, 980.52, 980.53, 980.54, 980.55, 980.56, 980.57, 980.58, 980.59, 980.60, 980.61, 980.62, 980.63, 980.64, 980.65, 980.66, 980.67, 980.68, 980.69, 980.70, 980.71, 980.72, 980.73, 980.74, 980.75, 980.76, 980.77, 980.78, 980.79, 980.80, 980.81, 980.82, 980.83, 980.84, 980.85, 980.86, 980.87, 980.88, 980.89, 980.90, 980.91, 980.92, 980.93, 980.94, 980.95, 980.96, 980.97, 980.98, 980.99, and 98.50.

2.The analog thermometer will be able to show values between 980 and 98.50 with increments of 0.1.

3.The specific values that can be shown are 980.0, 980.1, 980.2, 980.3, 980.4, 980.5, 980.6, 980.7, 980.8, 980.9, 981
