Radioactivity comes from unstable atoms of certain elements. Radioactivity consists of alpha radiation (2 protons and 2 neutrons), beta radiation (1 electron), or gamma radiation (Electromagnetic photons).

A single penny has a mass of 2.5 g. Abbie and James each measure the mass of a penny multiple times. Which statement about these
const2013 [10]
The question is missing the data sets.

This is the complete question:

A single penny has a mass of 2.5 g. Abbie and James each measure the mass of a penny multiple times. Which statement about these data sets is true? 

O Abbie's measurements are both more accurate and more precise than James'.

O Abbie's measurements are more accurate, but less precise, than James'. 

O Abbie's measurements are more precise, but less accurate, than James'. 

O Abbie’s measurements are both less accurate and less precise than James'. 

Penny masses (g)

Abbie’s data                                        

2.5, 2.4, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.6 

James’ data


2.4, 3.0, 3.3, 2.2, 2.9, 3.8, 2.9

Answer: first option, Abbie's measurements are both more accurate and more precise than James'.

Explanation:


1) To answer this question, you first must understand the difference between precision and accuracy.

<span>Accuracy is how close the data are to the true or accepted value.
</span>

<span>Precision is how close are the data among them, this is the reproducibility of the values.</span>

Then, you can measure the accuracy by comparing the means (averages) with the actual mass of a penny 2.5 g.

And you measure the precision by comparing a measure of spread, as it can be the standard deviation.

2) These are the calculations:

Abbie’s data                      
                 
Average: ∑ of the values / number of values 

Average = [2.5 + 2.4 + 2.3 + 2.4 + 2.5 + 2.6 + 2.6 ] / 7 = 2.47 ≈ 2.5

Standard deviation: √  [ ∑ (x - mean)² / (n - 1) ] = 0.11


James’ data


Average = [2.4 + 3.0 + 3.3 + 2.2 + 2.9 + 3.8 + 2.9] / 7 = 2.56 ≈ 2.6


Standard deviation = 0.53

3) Conclusions:

1) The average of Abbie's data are closer to the accepted value 2.5g, so they are more accurate.

2) The standard deviation of Abbie's data is smaller than that of Jame's data, so the Abbie's data are more precise.

can anyone explain to me how to balance a chemical equation? im having trouble in understanding how i keep getting it wrong.
Virty [35]
For example we are going to use this unbalanced chemical reaction:
H₂ + O₂ → H₂O.
First, calculate number of atoms (hydrogens and oxygens) on left and right. There is two oxygen and two hydrogen on left and two hydrogen and one oxygen on right.
You can not change molecular formula of compound, only you can put coefficient in fron of compound to balance reaction.
Put 2 in front water to balance oxygen (now you have two oxygens on left and right). But now you have four hydrogens on right, so you must put 2 in fron hydrogen on the left.
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O.
