You have a group of 5 students who all measure the length of a salamander that is 17 cm long. The measurements are: 16.1 cm, 16. 2 cm, 16.1 cm, 16.2 cm, and 16.2 cm. These measurements are ______.

Respuesta :

Answer: precise but not accurate

Step-by-step explanation:

To be precise means for the measurement to be close to the exact value. To be accurate means to get the exact measurement.

In this case, since the students got values that are close to 17cm, it means that they are precise but they are not accurate since they didn't get the exact measurement which is 17cm.
