DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Explanation:

Precise results are those that are very close to the actual result, but do not achieve exactly the same result. In addition, this difference between the precise results is exactly the same. We have an example of this in the case shown in the figure above, where the blood pressure readings measured by the cuff differ by 15 points for each reading. This case also shows us that the results are not accurate, because this type of result is one that shows a result exactly the same as the real one.
