Four research teams measured the half-life of a radioactive isotope, and what each team wrote in its team notebook is shown in the table below. Suppose a later and more reliable measurement gives 0.32 s for the half-life of the same isotope. Decide which of the earlier measurements was the most accurate, and which was the most precise. what was written most accurate most precise team in the notebook measurement measurement A "0.42s" О B "0.3s 0.1s" O C D "0.52s 10.%" "between 0.10s and 0.14s" O О
