[QUOTE="jeehoo, post: 6124037, member: 656257"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] We measured 2 values and were asked to calculate their average using sig fig The two values were: 1.56324 N and 1.13405 N. ( 1.56324 N + 1.13405 N ) / 2 = 1.348645 N Would the answer be 1.34865 N or 1 N? (Someone told me that we only use the sig figs of measured values, which are 1.56324 N and 1.13405 N.) [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] avg. = sum of values / number of values [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] I think it's 1 N since when dividing or multiplying you use the sig fig of numbers with the least amount of sig figs.
