Solution :
In this question we have to determine whether the statement given in the question is accurate or precise or both or neither of them.
In the question it is given that the lab members are making a guess about how many base pairs will the new plasmid will have. Their random guesses of base pairs are 4,005; 4,006; 4,007; and 4,010. But in actual, the new plasmid has 7,968 number of base pairs.
Therefore, according to it, the data in the statement is precise but it is not accurate.
Precision refers to the degree of the reproducibility of measurements even if the values varies from accepted values. And accuracy shows how much close the measurement is to the accepted or the known value.
We say that we have a precise data on our hands and not an accurate one
Option B
Question Parameters:
The lab members' guesses are 4,005; 4,006; 4,007; and 4,010.
Generally, accuracy shows how close a size is to a regarded or established value, whilst precision in facts capability the degree of reproducibility of the measurements. Measurements that are each specific and correct are repeatable and very close to genuine values.
Hence, we say that we have a precise data on our hands and not an accurate one
Option B
