for the last example, both numbers are exact and neither has a decimal given. If you have an exact number like 12000 people and subtract 3500 people because they are some portion of that population not subject to some study, then you should have exactly 8500. Rounding in the thousands place seems wrong and non-intuitive. Are you sure you need to be doing this? Online sig-fig calcs also say the answer should be 8500.
It is the hardest example. Feel free to check out the last example in the addition and subtraction portion of this purple math link. www.purplemath.com/modules/rounding3.htm. The decimal point rule is a simplification of the overall rule, which states that in addition and subtraction sig figs, you are only as accurate as your least accurate place. In the last example 12,000 is only accurate up to the thousands place, so our answer can only give a number with sig figs up to the thousands place.
Dear Robin - Thank you for saving my ass when it comes to sig-figs. Signed, a grateful 46 year old who has returned to school and is being forced by the Devil/administration to take Chemistry.
I think the last answer should b 8000 or, because according to Five Rule in rounding off numbers..... If the first figure dropped is 5 and all the figures following 5 is zero of if there are no figures after the 5 thn the last figure should be unchanged if that last figure is even ...
I've never really seen the rule applied the way do for the last problem. The rule should only apply to numbers after the decimal point. I've put that problem into 4 different sig fig calculators and they all give the same answer of 8500. I don't think the makers of this video are correct,

She should be saying more precise rather than more accurate. Significant figures have nothing to do with correctness but only the degree to which the measurments were taken.
Hi, I am not a statistic student, i m Sociologist but there in my book a question is given, please solve and send me, i will be thankful to you. my Email: shayansps@gmail.com QUESTION . The grades in various subjects of a student are given below. Test at 5% level of significance that there is a significant difference in grades Mathematics 72 80 83 75 Statistics 81 74 77 88 English 82 90 87 80 Research 74 71 77 70
Habibrasol Safi if you listen to the video I actually say that one of the zeros is not a sig fig, and yep, like I said in the video they both have 3 sig figs and because of their location, 0.795 is the answer!
Explaining addition and subtraction sig figs is often tricky so some people will definitely be confused when watching this video, but I’ve also taught this concept a lot of ways and found that there’s no perfect way to explain it to someone still learning about sig figs who hasn’t done practice problems yet. I definitely get what you’re saying, but I still feel this way of explaining is a good starter technique. Thanks for watching!
Bilge Cagatay Correct. There is no better reason to round a 5 up than down, so fifty percent of the time it's rounded up and fifty percent down, which is determined by whether the proceeding number is even or odd.
Out of all of the videos I’ve seen, your voice is just so relaxing to listen to which makes learning more enjoyable
haha thank you!
Whatever number has the least significant "place" - what does this mean?
gods gift to crying students everywhere
haha thanks!
me crying while watching this and taking notes 🤙

you are a blessing! I was very confused and failed my first quiz, but did amazing on the unit test after reviewing!
Finally understand the last example. Thank you!

What would you do if there is addition and subtraction in one equation
It's still just the same one rule!
@@RobinReaction okay thank you
What do you mean least significant place?
what if you add 106 and 4? Your answer is 110, so is the zero supposed to be significant? Should it be put in scientific notation?
thank you
what about addition of 167000 + 23.00
How do you do 1-.5
In the last problem, what if it had been 14,000 - 3,500 = 10,500? Would the answer be 11,000 and why?
The examples that I so need! Thank you so much!
What would be the sig figs of 8.650 + 19.6 + 44.05 + 88 ?
2
160. and it may 160, not sure which would be right.
I really like the way you present things! Thanks so much!!!
What would 520+94.98 = ?
THANK UUUU SO MUCH U JUST SAVED MY LIFE
haha yay good luck in your course!
This helped me a lot 😘😘😘

Addition and subtraction and multiplication rule are not applied in exact number
Thanks again!
you really are so interactive...
love ur lectures!!
Shivani Ravula thanks so much!
I love your videos.
Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
this helped me so so much thank you!
sophia 2 yay you’re welcome! Glad it helped!
I LEARNT ALOT THANKS
how's class goin'
awesome video mam
You're the BEST!
thank you 😭😭😭
I don’t get the last one

I love you even more !
Isn’t the last one 8500
How about the sig fig in 2.871+0.758? Please help me out
thank you so much. no one talked about the 0's
np!
I'm so confused on the last one

IN BOTH veeery important Lead off with this yall makes ll the difference, sig figs IN BOTH
0.854-0.0592= has only 3 sig fig. you said it has 4 sig fig which is wrong. The answer is 0.795 they both have 3 sig. fig.

yay, I'm glad!
keep it up
Information 🎉🎉🎉
study hard
I think she got the last one wrong because she was hitting a bong at the end ^--^
I said the vedio is nice
hey bois
Last one should 8,000 b/c 8 is even
Bilge Cagatay Correct. There is no better reason to round a 5 up than down, so fifty percent of the time it's rounded up and fifty percent down, which is determined by whether the proceeding number is even or odd.
no it should be exactly 8500 with 2 sig figs idk why she saying no to that
i understand it but the last one made no sense lol.
götten sallama bolum
pardon hocam haklıymışsın
Beautiful Lady ❤️ with wonderful mind 😍
Simp
I said nice the vedio
