Question 10 • LPISD Earth Systems A - CR

Which data set is precise based on a correct value of 42?

Answer
A
Set 1: 41, 23, 42, 19
B
Set 2: 41, 42, 41, 43
C
Set 3: 42, 15, 42, 98
D
Set 4: 89, 13, 17, 25

Explanation

Precision means the measurements are close to one another, while accuracy means they are close to the correct value of 42. Set 2 has values 41, 42, 41, and 43, all clustered within two units of each other and near 42. The other sets have values spread much farther apart.
