Question

Which of these statements correctly compares probeware (such as an electronic temperature probe) to traditional analog tools (such as a liquid-based thermometer)?

A Measurements by traditional analog tools are good to a larger number of significant figures.
B Measurements by traditional analog tools are less prone to experimental error.
C Probeware is typically very difficult to transport.
D Probeware is useful for obtaining many measurements in rapid succession.

Answer 1

D) Probeware is useful for obtaining many measurements in rapid succession.

Explanation:

We are required,

To compare probeware ( namely an electronic temperature probe) to traditional analog tools ( namely a liquid based thermometer).

Now, as we know,

Probewares are generally used to collect precise data (with less amount of error) in real-time and analyze the result using powerful tools.

So, we have,

Probewares are easy to use while being cost-effective.

Thus, the correct statement for the comparison would be,

D) Probeware is useful for obtaining many measurements in rapid succession.

Answer 2

Probeware is useful for obtaining many measurement in rapid succession, a function that an analog tool  can not perform. The answer is D.
