klio [65]
The first colorimeter is precise, but it is not accurate. It seems to have a zero error of -5.
We can conclude its precision because the readings are closely grouped, but its lack of accuracy is due to its variation from the actual value. Moreover, the variation is consistently of 5 points lower than the actual value, so its zero error may be -5.

The second colorimeter may be referred to as being accurate.

How do the main sequence stages of these two sizes of stars differ?
xxTIMURxx [149]
Stellar evolution is the process by which a star undergoes a sequence of radical changes during its lifetime. Depending on the mass of the star, this lifetime ranges from only a few million years (for the most massive) to trillions of years (for the less massive), considerably more than the age of the universe. ^ 

Small, relatively cold, low mass red dwarfs burn hydrogen slowly and will burn for hundreds of billions of years 

Massive hot supergiants will live for just a few million years. 

A mid-sized star like the Sun will remain on the main sequence for about 10 billion years. Hope tis helps!!
