2) As an example of precision and accuracy of data, suppose the % carbon in a single compound has been measured three separate times by 2 different students. The theoretical % carbon is 21.34%. Student 1: trial 1 : 26.11%, trial 2: 26.24 % trial 3: 25.92 %, Avg - 26.09 Student 2: trial 1 : 20.35%, trial 2: 22.64 % trial 3: 19.79 %. Avg = 20.93 a) Which student had the more precise data and how can you tell? b) Which student had the more accurate data and how can you tell? 3a) Calculate the % error of Student 1 data in problem 2 above.
