Introduction

In many cases, it is worth knowing the range of numbers that provide a specific rounding. This is because we want to estimate how much we may err if giving an approximate value of a number. We have previously explained that in science we must speak with competence and not guess.

In this tutorial, we will explain how to identify the margins of error we accept when rounding a number. We call these allowed margins of error "bounds" (upper and lower). Let's explain what we mean by that.
