Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Significant digits, also known as significant figures, represent the number of digits in a value that are considered to be accurate and meaningful. This is important for expressing the precision or accuracy of a measurement or calculation, and can be used to ensure consistency and minimize errors in scientific or mathematical work. The other choices (A, B, and D) are related to specific types or formats of numerical data, but do not directly address the issue of accuracy or precision.
