Lesson 4

Lesson 4 Summary

 

In this lesson you looked at applications of measurement when it comes to vehicles and vehicle maintenance. In some cases, such as the temperature of your engine, it is very important that the measuring tool be both accurate and precise. Imprecise measurements of engine temperature can cause engine damage and result in costly repairs.

 

On the other hand, the amount of windshield washer fluid in the reservoir is not as important, because harmful damage to the vehicle is very unlikely to occur if the reservoir is low or even empty. When analyzing measurements, you need to make informed decisions regarding what is important and what is not so important.
