The density of copper is listed as 8.94 g/mL. Two students each make three density determinations through experimentation. Student A's measurements are 6.3 g/mL, 8.9 g/mL, and 11.1 g/mL. Student B's measurements are 8.3 g/mL, 8.2 g/mL, and 8.4 g/mL. Compare the two sets of results in terms of precision and accuracy.
