Question 6: The set of mass readings (397 g, 401 g, 403 g) shows that all the readings are consistently close to one another, indicating precision. However, they are all significantly lower than the intended mass of 500 g, indicating a lack of accuracy.

Response: Precise but not accurate.


Question 7: A testable hypothesis is one that can be supported or refuted through experimentation and observation. Among the options provided, the hypothesis "If a person gets 8 hours of sleep at night, then their memory during the day will improve" can be tested through an experiment involving sleep duration and memory assessment.

Response: If a person gets 8 hours of sleep at night, then their memory during the day will improve.
