Question

Precision means that       ["all", "few", "several", "the average value of", "individual"]  measurements are close to       ["zero", "the accepted value", "the average value", "each other"]  .

Accuracy means that        ["all", "few", "several", "the average value of", "individual"]  measurements are close to       ["zero", "the accepted value", "the average value", "each other"]  .

Three students each measure the density of ethanol four times to collect the following data.  

Student Brian Tiffany Sung
Densities (g/mL) 0.768, 0.793, 0.780, 0.795  0.796, 0.798, 0.799, 0.797 0.788, 0.790, 0.787, 0.789
Average (g/mL) 0.784 0.798  0.789

Brian's data is       ["accurate", "precise", "accurate and precise", "none of these"]  .

Tiffany's data is      ["accurate", "precise", "accurate and precise", "none of these"]  .

Sung's data is      ["accurate", "precise", "accurate and precise", "none of these"]  .
