Explanation:

Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value. Precision refers to how close a set of measurements are to one another. If the mass - measurements are far from the true value but close to each other, it's a precision issue. If they are close to the true value but vary widely among themselves, it could be an accuracy issue. To determine which it is, one would look at the spread of the measurements and their proximity to the known or expected mass value.

Answer:

The differences in mass measurements could be due to either accuracy or precision differences. To know which one, check the proximity of the measurements to the true value (accuracy) and the proximity of the measurements to each other (precision).
