Precision and Accuracy – Level 1 A general chemistry student took the mass of a sample of Solution Q five times. The following table includes the results of those five measurements. Measurement # 1 2 3 4 5 Mass (g) 14.005 14.006 14.005 14.004 14.006 The true value of solution Q was 15.765 g. The lab holds 5% as the maximum tollerance for accuracy and/or precision. From this it would be reasonable for the student to conclude that the balance is _________________.
