Express your answers to problems in this section to the correct number of significant figures and proper units. (a) How many significant figures are in the numbers 99 and $100 ?$ (b) If the uncertainty in each number is 1 , what is the percent uncertainty in each? (c) Which is a more meaningful way to express the accuracy of these two numbers, significant figures or percent uncertainties?

Express your answers to problems in this section to the correct number of significant figures and proper units. (a) A person's blood pressure is measured to be $120 \pm 2 \mathrm{mm} \mathrm{Hg} .$ What is its percent uncertainty? (b) Assuming the same percent uncertainty, what is the uncertainty in a blood pressure measurement of $80 \mathrm{mm} \mathrm{Hg}$ $?$
