Four research teams measured the density of a new alloy, and what each team wrote in its team notebook is shown in the table below. Suppose a later and more reliable measurement gives 7.70 g/cm° for the density of the same alloy. Decide which of the earlier measurements was the most accurate, and which was the most precise.
