Answer to Problem 10STP

The statement I is false.

Statement II is true but it is not the correct explanation for statement I.

Explanation of Solution

The known digits plus the last, estimated digit make up the significant figures in a measurement.

Because calculated results frequently depend on the number of significant figures in the values used in the calculation, measurements must always be reported to the right number of significant figures.

There is a set of rules to detect the digits in a significant measured value.

According to the rules of significant figures:

The leftmost zeros that exist before nonzero digits are not significant.

A zero following a decimal point and to the right of it are both always significant.

The given value has only three significant figures.

So, the statement I is false and statement II is not the correct explanation for the statement I.
