Answer:

4.3.

Explanation:

  • Measurements that are close to the known value are said to be accurate, whereas measurements that are close to each other are said to be precise.
  • The most closest measurement to the known value is 4.3 g.
  • So, the right choice is: 4.3 g.

Answer: The most accurate measurement made by Jeff is 4.3 g

Explanation:

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

For Example: If the mass of a substance is 58 kg and one person weighed 57 kg and another person weighed 60 kg. Then, the weight measured by first person is more accurate.

We are given:

Mass of the sample = 4.312 g

So, the measurement close to 4.312 grams will be the accurate value.

Hence, the most accurate measurement made by Jeff is 4.3 g
