Answer:

An accurate measurement is one that comes close to the correct value, while precision is how close together a number of measurements are. Both accuracy and precision are important to scientific measurement. Having a value that is reproducible, or having good precision for a measurement, is only useful if the values being obtained are close to the true value.

In other words, accuracy describes the difference between the measurement and the part's actual value, while precision describes the variation you see when you measure the same part repeatedly with the same device.

Answer: The program completed in a quarter of the time with four computers versus one computer

Explanation:

Distributed computing simply means using distributed systems in solving computational problems and this is done as the problem is divided into many tasks, whereby the tasks are accomplished by one or more computers.

Following the information given in the question, a speedup of 4 indicate that the program completed in a quarter of the time with four computers versus one computer.

Iteru [2.4K]

If there is electrochemical cell where Q = 0.0010 and K = 0.10 then the truth about Ecell and E°cell is,
Ecell is positive and E°cell is negative.
E° = (RT/nF) InQ = (RT/nF) × In(K/Q) = Positive.
Since ( K/Q) = 100 then In(K/Q) = positive
