SUMMARY

The discussion centers on determining the required accuracy of a voltage meter to measure voltage to within one part in 300. This translates to an accuracy requirement of 0.00333, or approximately 0.33%. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding precision in measurements, particularly in contexts where high accuracy is essential.

Even My Dr. Doesn't understand this problem !

It's is desired to determine a voltage to within one part in 300.what accuracy of the meter is required?

Why would you expect your Dr. to know about a voltage meter? "One part in 300" is 1/300= 0.003333333... or 1/3 of one percent. That is the accuracy.
