The precision of a method is being established, and the
following
data are obtained 22.23, 22.18 22.25, 22.09
and 22.15%, is 22.09% a valid measurement?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

No,  22.09%  is not a valid measurement

Explanation:

Precision has to do with how close a given set of measured values are to each other. It is quite different from accuracy. Accuracy refers to how close a given set of values is to the true value. A given set of values may be precise but not accurate and vice versa.

If we look at the values obtained;  22.09%,  22.15%, 22.18%, 22.23%, 22.25%, the value 22.09% is too far off the other values. This implies that it does not represent a valid measurement since it is not close to all the other values obtained.
