Question

In a laboratory experiment, the density of a concentrated sugar solution was determined by measuring the volume of the solution and corresponding mass. Three students each made a set of measurements using a different balance and used the results to calculate density. Their results are summarized here. Rank the data sets in decreasing order of precision. Rank from most to least precise. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them. The correct ranking cannot be determined. The accepted density of the sugar solution is 1.390g/mL . Based on the average value of each data set, rank the data sets in decreasing order of accuracy. Rank from most to least accurate. To rank Items as equivalent, overlap them. The correct ranking cannot be determined.

Explanation / Answer

precision is how close the measurement are to one another while accuracy is how close the measurement are to the "real measurement" Precision: Least: Set a, Set b, Set c : Most precise accurate Least: Set a, Set c, Set b : Most accurate
