Guest guest Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 , Beware the false precision of four significant figures or two decimal places. I doubt if the test result is better than 1% accurate. 29.58 is probably better expressed as 29.6, +/-0.3 at best. Still, the trend is undoubtedly good. Congratulations!
