Question

a student records the following measurements for the length of a table: 1.23 m, 1.24 m, 1.22 m. the actual length is 1.50 m. which statement is true? the measurements are both accurate and precise; the measurements are neither accurate nor precise; the measurements are precise but not accurate; the measurements are accurate but not precise

Explanation:

Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true value. Precision refers to how close repeated measurements are to each other. The measured values 1.23 m, 1.24 m, 1.22 m are close to each other (precise) but far from the actual length of 1.50 m (not accurate).

Answer:

The measurements are precise but not accurate.
