Question

Carol's biology class was given the task of determining the average thickness of birch leaves. they were given no instructions from the teacher but would be graded on accuracy. each team devised their own method to measure the birch leaf thickness. which technique should provide the most accurate measurement

Answer 1

An indirect measure would give Carol's biology class the most accurate measurement. If she finds the total thickness of 25 leaves and then divides the amount by 25, that should give her the thickness of an average birch leaf in the group.
