Answer:

Accuracy of values

Explanation:

They're correct due to margin error of ±0.5 during an experiment.

1 min 15 seconds is equivalent to 75 seconds.

However the other one was 75.5 seconds.

Using the margin error of ±0.5 during recording, they're both correct.

Note : Accuracy is the closeness of agreement between a measured value and a true or accepted value. Measurement error is the amount of inaccuracy.

Precision is a measure of how well a result can be determined (without reference to a theoretical or true value). It is the degree of consistency and agreement among independent measurements of the same quantity; also the reliability or reproducibility of the result.

The uncertainty estimate associated with a measurement should account for both the accuracy and precision of the measurement.

In this case, this is an argument of who was more accurate and judging by this standard, they're both accurate but not necessarily precise since their values are not exact with each other.

The fe2+(aq) solution described in part a was produced by dissolving 4.05 g of ore in acid. what was the percentage of fe by mas
poizon [28]
Percentage by mass is the amount in mass of a component in a mixture per 100 unit of mass of the total mixture. Percentage by mass is the same as  %w/w. In order to determine this value, we need to know the mass of the  substance in question and the total mass of the sample. In this case, we have to know the mass of Fe by doing certain calculations. Then, we divide this value by the total mass given of the ore, 4.05 g and multiply by 100%. It should be expressed as follows:

Percent by mass = mass of Fe in ore / 4.05 g ore sample x 100

However, the question is lacking some information so we cannot really specify the answer.
