For number 6, please refer to the situation below:

Suppose you are in a lab, and your teacher asked you to find the volume of different samples of
carbonated beverages under constant room temperature. After finding the volume of each samples,
data shows as follows:

Standard Volume
Trials Actual Volume
(As shown in the label)
1 249.5mL
2 250mL 248.5mL
3 251mL
Average 249.67mL
Temperature: 25OC

_____6. Do you think the experiment meets precision?

a. Yes, because the data shown closeness of two or more values
b. Yes, because the data shown the closeness of two or more values with regards to standard
volume
c. No, because the data shown does not have two or more close values
d. No, because the data shown does not have two or more values close to the standard volume
