Q. What is the greatest possible error for a measurement of

4

fluid ounces?

\newline

\newline

\_\_\_\_

fluid ounces

\newline

Determine Precision: Determine the precision for the measurement of $4$ fluid ounces. $\newline$ Since the measurement is given as a whole number without any decimal or fractional parts, we can assume that the precision is to the nearest whole fluid ounce. $\newline$ Precision: $1$ fluid ounce
Calculate Error: Calculate the greatest possible error based on the precision. $\newline$ The greatest possible error for a measurement is half of the precision. $\newline$ Greatest possible error $= \frac{\text{Precision}}{2}$ $\newline$ $= \frac{1 \text{ fluid ounce}}{2}$ $\newline$ $= 0.5 \text{ fluid ounces}$
