A person uses a set of spring-based analog scales to measure her weight.  He did the weighing process 10 times and get the following measurement figures in kilograms: 60.1, 59.6, 59.4, 60.4, 59.9, 59.6, 60.2, 60.7, 59.4, and 59.7. To satisfy his curiosity, he then used one scale electronically calibrated to measure its assumed weight has zero error.  This scale gives a reading of 60.5 kg. Calculate the precision (precision) of a spring-based balance?
