A student performs an experiment to determine the density of a sugar solution. The student obtains the following results: 1.71 g/mL, 1.70 g/mL, 1.69 g/mL, 1.69 g/mL. If the actual value for the density of the sugar solution is 1.70 g/mL, which statement below best describes their results? The results are accurate, but not precise The results are precise, but not accurate The results are both precise and accurate The results are neither precise nor accurate
