Why is a standard system of measurement useful across the sciences?
Two students independently determine the volume of water delivered by a 10.00-mL pipet. Each student takes 8 measurements, then computes the average volume delivered and the standard deviation. The results are tabulated below.
Average
St. Dev.
Student A
10.4 mL
±0.7 mL
Student B
10.00 mL
±0.02 mL
Which statement best describes the results?
1)A: good precision, poor accuracy. B: poor precision, good accuracy.
