Question 1
A water sample is analyzed using two different instruments, yielding the following results: Instrument A measures 2 mg/L, while Instrument B measures 3 mg/L. If the true value is known to be 2.5 mg/L, discuss the accuracy and precision of both results.
💡 Hint: Compare how close both instruments are to the true value.
Question 2
