Numbers and Units

  • Read the following four statements (A, B, C and D below) and rank these in order from best to worst in the way that they deal with numbers and units. Hint: Think about which of those that contain errors are more problematic than others.

    A) Please pass me those 10 10 ml pipettes.
    B) I need to shake the reagents within 10 after they first mixed.
    C) If we wait longer, there is a 50% chance that the data will be inaccurate.
    D) Inaccuracies would be a problem, especially because these results might influence a decision that affects over 600000 people.

    For questions 7, 8, 9, and 10, simply input the number that indicates your ranking of this statement (1 = best, 2 = second best, 3 = second worst, 4 = worst). Hint: Only assign each ranking score once (e.g. Q7 and Q8 cannot both be ranked 1)
