Question

the following is a list of masses received when measuring the mass of a 40 gram * container with a single scale: 37 grams 44 grams 41 grams 39 grams indicate if this is accurate, precise, both, or neither just accurate just precise accurate and precise not accurate and not precise five students were measuring the length of the room with the same meter stick. here are their findings student 1: 578 meters student 2: 287 meters student 3: 356 meters

Explanation:

Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true value. Precision refers to how close repeated measurements are to each other. For the mass - measurement of the 40 - gram container, the values 37g, 44g, 41g, 39g are somewhat close to 40g (showing some accuracy), and they are not too far from each other (showing some precision). For the room - length measurements, the values 578m, 287m, 356m, etc. vary greatly from each other (low precision) and it's hard to tell the true value without more context, but the large spread indicates low accuracy too.

Answer:

For the mass - measurement: Accurate and Precise
For the room - length measurement: Not accurate and not precise
