Get started for freeTo determine the volume of a cube, a student measured one of the dimensions of the cube several times. If the true dimension of the cube is \(10.62 \mathrm{~cm}\), give an example of four sets of measurements that would illustrate the following. a. imprecise and inaccurate data b. precise but inaccurate data c. precise and accurate data Give a possible explanation as to why data can be imprecise or inaccurate. What is wrong with saying a set of measurements is imprecise but accurate?
A cold front moves through and the temperature drops by 20 degrees. In which temperature scale would this 20 degree change represent the largest change in temperature?
What is the difference between random error and systematic error?
A sample containing \(33.42 \mathrm{~g}\) of metal pellets is poured into a graduated cylinder initially containing \(12.7 \mathrm{~mL}\) of water, causing the water level in the cylinder to rise to \(21.6 \mathrm{~mL}\). Calculate the density of the metal.
