Questions: Question 5 of 10 A digital scale reports a 10 kg weight as weighing 8.975 kg . Which of the following is true? A. The scale is both accurate and precise. B. The scale is precise but not accurate. C. The scale is neither precise nor accurate. D. The scale is accurate but not precise.

Solution Steps

• Accuracy refers to how close a measured value is to the true value.
• Precision refers to how close repeated measurements are to each other.

• The true weight is 10 kg.
• The reported weight is 8.975 kg.

• The reported weight (8.975 kg) is not close to the true weight (10 kg).
• Therefore, the scale is not accurate.

• The problem does not provide information about repeated measurements.
• Without this information, we cannot determine the precision of the scale.
