Question

2/11 which data set is most precise? 150 g 75 g 1.75 g 2.49 g 4.50 g 3.75 g 1.75 g 1.72 g 1.79 g

Explanation:

Step1: Understand Precision

Precision refers to how close the measured values are to each other. We analyze the spread (difference between max and min) of each dataset.

Step2: Analyze First Dataset

Values: 150 g, 75 g, 1.75 g
Max - Min = \( 150 - 1.75 = 148.25 \) g

Step3: Analyze Second Dataset

Values: 2.49 g, 4.50 g, 3.75 g
Max - Min = \( 4.50 - 2.49 = 2.01 \) g

Step4: Analyze Third Dataset

Values: 1.75 g, 1.72 g, 1.79 g
Max - Min = \( 1.79 - 1.72 = 0.07 \) g

Answer:

The dataset with values 1.75 g, 1.72 g, 1.79 g (the orange - colored option) is the most precise as it has the smallest spread (difference between maximum and minimum values) among the three datasets.
