The density of copper is listed as 8.94 g/cm3.Two students each make three density determinations of samples of the substance. Student A’s results are 7.3 g/mL, 9.4 g/mL, and 8.3 g/mL. Student B’sresults are 8.4 g/cm3, 8.8 g/cm3, and 8.0 g/cm3.Compare the two sets of results in terms of precision and accuracy.

Answer:

Student A's answer was accurate but not precise. Student B's result was accurate and precise

Explanation:

Since the results of each trial was close to one another. Both studentA and B had an average density that was 0.5 away from actual density.

I hope it cleared your doubt.

Accuracy—how close a measurement is to the true or actual value ("hit the bullseye")

Precision—how close several measurements are to each other (hit the same spot on dartboard)

The average of student B is 8.40 g/cc.

The average of student A is 8.33 g/cc.

The range of A is 8.0-8.8 or 0.8 from low to high.

The range of B is 7.3 to 9.4 or 2.1 from low to high

Student A's measurements would be neither accurate nor precise.

Student B's measurements are more precise than Student A's

however I would not consider these measurement either accurate or precise.
