Concept explainers
a.
To classify measurement as accurate precise, both or neither.
a.
Answer to Problem 1.5.2P
The set is neither accurate nor precise.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Set is 56.1 cm, 48.9 cm, 24.2 cm and 5 cm.
In the given set, the first two measurements are precise, but the next two are both even close. Hence, the set is neither accurate nor precise.
b.
To classify measurement as accurate precise, both or neither.
b.
Answer to Problem 1.5.2P
The set is neither accurate nor precise.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
73.1 cm, 74 cm, 73.5cm and 73.7 cm.
In the given set, the values are not close. Hence, the set is neither accurate nor precise.
c.
To classify measurement as accurate precise, both or neither.
c.
Answer to Problem 1.5.2P
The given set is precise.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
52.6 cm, 52.5 cm, 52.2 cm and 52.3
In the given set of measurement, each value is very close to the accurate measurement. Hence, the given set is precise.
d.
To verify the statement
d.
Answer to Problem 1.5.2P
The statement is correct
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The statement
The word precision means “the quality, condition or fact of being exact and accurate.” It means if the measurement is accurate, it is also precise. Hence, the statement is correct
