The more numbers after the decimal point there are, the more precise the instrument which recorded it is. For example, if one instrument during seismic activity records that the magnitude of the earthquake was 2.3, and another instrument recorded that it was 2.3645, the second instrument would have shown to be more precise.

Veronica is taking an average of 16 height measurements in a brand-new experiment. Which term is this the best example of?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Repetition

Explanation:

The best term to describe this example is repetition and not replication.

Most times, to obtain an accurate and precise reading which is reliable, scientist makes several repeated measurements. The average gives the most reliable representation of the phenomenon being tested.

This process is called repetition.

On the other hand, duplicating an experiment is replication. Experiments are replicated to proof their validity.

  • Since this is a brand new experiment where 16 height measurements are reported, we are dealing with a repetition situation.
