The data obtained from two sets of experiments A and B have the following characteristics
It may be concluded that
| Experiment | A | B |
|---|---|---|
| Mean | 50 units | 100 units |
| Standard deviation | 2 units | 2 units |
(a)A is more precise than B
(b)A is less precise than B
(c)A and B are of the same precision
(d)Relative precision of A and B cannot be assessed
Answer
Answer: B ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high
Explanation
Relative precision = s/mean: A 2/50 = 4 %, B 2/100 = 2 %; A is less precise than B.
