Report quantities with accuracy appropriate to measurement limitations.
Identify underprecision from excessive rounding
Problem
A lab report requires length within \(\pm~0.05~\text{cm}\), and the measured value is reported as \(12.5~\text{cm}\) to the nearest tenth. Determine the maximum rounding error, test it against the tolerance, judge the precision, and state the retained report.
