The accepted value for the specific heat of iron is 0.450 ]/g 0C. ) a)Calculate the student's percent error. Does the percent error evaluate the accuracy or the precision of the student's measurements? b) calculate the standard deviation for the students data set. Does the standard deviation evaluate the accuracy or the precision of the students measurements? Explain.
