If the true value for an experimental result is 6.23 and the results reported by three students X, Y and Z are : X : 6.18 and 6.28 Y : 6.20 and 6.023
If the true value for an experimental result is 6.23 and the results reported by three students X, Y and Z are :
X : 6.18 and 6.28
Y : 6.20 and 6.023
Z : 6.22 and 6.24
Which of the following option is correct?
(a) X precise, Y accurate, Z precise and accurate.
(b) X precise and accurate, Y not precise, Z precise
(c) Both X & Z precise & accurate, Y not precise.
(d) Both X & Y neither precise nor accurate, Z both precise and accurate.
Answer is: (d) Both X & Y neither precise nor accurate, Z both precise and accurate.
Explanation:
Both Y and X are neither precise nor accurate as the two values in each of them are not close. With respect to X & Y, the values of Z are close & agree with the true value. Hence, both precise & accurate.
