This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Bud N. Chemist must determine the density of a mineral sample. His four trials yield densities of 4.77 g/cm³, 4.67 g/cm³, 4.69 g/cm³, and 4.81 g/cm³. Independent studies found the correct density to be 4.75 g/cm³. Which of the following statements represents the best analysis of the data?

A)Bud's results have much greater accuracy than precision.

B)Bud's results have much greater precision than accuracy.

C)Bud's results have high accuracy and high precision.

D)Bud's results have low accuracy and low precision.

E)Bud's equipment is faulty.

Answer : The correct option is, (A)Bud's results have much greater accuracy than precision.

Explanation :

Accuracy : It is defined as the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.

For Example: If the mass of a substance is 50 kg and one person weighed 48 kg and another person weighed 55 kg. Then, the weight measured by first person is more accurate.

Precision : It is defined as the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.

For Example: If you weigh a given substance five times and you get 1.8 kg each time. Then the measurement is said to be precise.

Level of precision is determined by the maximum number of decimal places.

When the level of precision is very very less, the measurement can be considered as most precise and most accurate.

As we are given that the actual value of the density of substance is 4.75 g/cm³ and the values measured by a chemist are, 4.77 g/cm³, 4.67 g/cm³, 4.69 g/cm³, and 4.81 g/cm³.

From the trial values of density of a substance we conclude that their results have much greater accuracy than precision because the measured value are close to the standard or known value.

Hence, the correct option is, (A)

Astudent made a graph plotting the progress of a reaction over time. the student forgot to label the y-axis of the graph. a graph is shown with two graph lines. one graph line starts at a higher position on the y axis and slopes downwards towards the right. the other graph line starts at a lower position on the y axis and slopes upwards towards the right. the two graph lines stop short of intersecting each other and continue as separate lines which gradually become straight and parallel to the x axis. a vertical line is shown at a point where the two graph lines finally became parallel to the x axis. this vertical line is labeled equilibrium. the title on the x axis is time and an arrow pointing towards the right is shown above time. the title on the y axis is left blank. what best explains the label that the student should use on the y-axis? amount, because as the amount of product decreases, the amount of reactant increases over time. reaction rate, because forward and backward reaction become equal at equilibrium. amount, because the amounts of reactants and products become constant after equilibrium is reached. reaction rate, as the rate of forward reaction increases and rate of backward reaction decreases over time.
