What can we say about the student's measurements? A. His measurements were accurate but not precise. B. His measurements were precise but not accurate. C. His measurements were accurate and precise. D. His measurements were neither accurate nor precise.

i would say b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would say D because the first decimal place is not very precise and all of the measurements were under the actual volume

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was thinking B at first too. What is this question for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a homework
