Answer: The student’s values are accurate as well as precise.
Explanation:
Precision refers to the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.
For Example: If you weigh a given substance three times and you get same value each time. Then the measurement is very precise.
Accuracy refers to the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.
For Example: If the mass of a substance is 50 kg and one person weighed 49 kg and another person weighed 48 kg. Then, the weight measured by first person is more accurate.
Given: Mass = 5.000 g
Mass weighed by A has values 4.891 g , 4.901 g and 4.890. Thus the average value is [tex]\frac{4.891+4.901+4.890}{3}=4.894[/tex]
Thus as the measured value is close to the true value, the student’s values are accurate and as the values are close to each other, the measurement is precise.
