The mass of a 4.20-g piece of metal was measured several times. The measured masses were 4.99 g, 4.92 g, 4.98 g,and 4.97 g. How would you describe the results obtained?
1 answer
The results obtained are precise but not accurate. The measurements are consistently close to each other, indicating precision, but they are not close to the true value of the metal's mass, indicating inaccuracy.
