Answer 1

Answer:

Answer 2

Answer:

Clock 2 will be preferred

Explanation:

Because when it comes to measurement, the instrument which is most precise is given importance over the one which is more accurate.

PRECISION IS GIVEN INPORTANCE THAN ACCURACY.

The second clock shows readings which are more close to each other but first clock shows large variations in reading.

So the second clock is preferred as it is more precise
