审稿意见上有这样一句：Please use only a credible number of significant figures when reporting data. For example, in Table 3, we see up to 5 significant figures, which implies significant to one part in up to 100,000.  However, the coef. of variation is of the order of a few percent, meaning that no more than two or three significant figures are warranted.这一句我没太明白，什么是有效性高达1/100000？还有最后一句也没太懂

原数据1943.0
1924.0
1844.1
1970.7
1897.9

均值1915.9

标准差48.17

变异系数0.025

他的意思是让我把所有的有效数字都改成5位吗？

确实原来没关心过这个，我需要提高学术素养，哪位朋友可以点拨我一下？ 返回小木虫查看更多
