6. Are the following targets accurate, precise, both, or neither?
7. Draw a target that is:
A. Accurate, but not precise
B. Precise, but not accurate
8. Find the percent error for the following problems:
1. A student measured the mass of some sodium chloride for a lab. The lab called for 6.25 g
(the accurate measurement), but the student measured 6.00 g instead. What is the percent
error for this mass?
2. A lab group turned in their experiment and had measured the mass of their sample to be 3.15
g. The teacher had asked for them to make a sample of 3.10 g (the accurate value). What is
their percent error?
3. Students were measuring distances and found one to be 2.04 m. When they asked the
teacher if their measurement was correct, the teacher said, “Actually, it is 2.16 m.” What is
the percent error?
4. A student measured a volume using a graduated cylinder. They read the volume to be 9.01
mL. The teacher read the volume and said the accurate value is 8.97 mL. What is their
percent error?
