The following density measurements were made by John during his science experiment:



Trial 1: 0.98 g/mL, Trial 2: 0.99 g/mL, and Trial 3: 0.97 g/mL.



According to his teacher, the density of the object is 0.97 g/mL. Discuss John’s accuracy and precision of measurement.

Based on John's result of the density, the results are both accurate and precise.

What is accuracy and precision?

Accuracy is the degree of conformity of a measure to a true or standard value while precision is the ability of a measurement to be reproduced consistently.

According to this question, the following density measurements were made by John during his science experiment:

  • Trial 1: 0.98 g/mL
  • Trial 2: 0.99 g/mL
  • Trial 3: 0.97 g/mL

Based on the definition of accuracy, it can be observed that these measured values are close to the true or standard value of the teacher, which is 0.97g/mL.

Also, the values are close to each other, suggesting that they are precise.

Therefore, based on John's result of the density, the results are both accurate and precise.
