Question

Spongebob was trying to make Krabby Patties that weighed 12oz. He made 4 Krabby Patties. They all had the following weights: 12.12oz; 11.9oz; 12.2oz; 12.1oz. Is this an example of Accuracy? Precision? Both? Neither?

Answer 1

Both accuracy and precision

Step-by-step explanation:

This displays accuracy because the weights were all very close to 12 oz, which was the desired weight/true value. The weights only varied from 12 oz by 0.1 or 0.2 ounces.

Additionally, this displays precision because the weights were very close to each other as well. The weights only varied slightly, by 0.1 to 0.3 ounces

Answer 2

Both accuracy and precision

Step-by-step explanation:

This displays accuracy because the weights were all very close to 12 oz, which was the desired weight/true value. The weights only varied from 12 oz by 0.1 or 0.2 ounces.

Additionally, this displays precision because the weights were very close to each other as well. The weights only varied slightly, by 0.1 to 0.3 ounces
