question 12 of 15
a clock that is set five minutes fast is less precise than an identical clock that keeps correct time.
a. true
b. false

Explanation:

Precision refers to the closeness of repeated measurements to one another, not to how close a measurement is to the true value. A clock that is set five minutes fast can still give consistent (precise) time readings (e.g., it always shows the time as 5 minutes ahead). The fact that it is 5 minutes fast relates to its accuracy (closeness to the true value), not its precision.

Answer:

B. False
