Expert Solution
Step 1 :Introduction

Precision of an experiment is the measurement of how closely the measured values agree to each other .  When relative error is used as a measurement of precision, , the precision is calculated by using the formula P=EV×100% , where E is the error value and V is the measured value.

Step 2 :Calculation of the precision of first air track

Calculate the precision of first air track by using the formula P1=E1V1×100% , where E1=0.5 g is the error value and V1=372.7 g is the measured value.

 

P1=E1V1×100%=0.5 g372.7 g×100%0.13 %
