You try to measure out exactly 5.0 milliliters of water by eye into each of five test tubes. When you go back to check the volume in each test tube, you find the amounts to be 4.8 mL, 5.3 mL, 5.1 mL, 4.9, and 4.7 mL. Are the volumes accurate, precise, neither, or both?

The volumes are both, accurate and precise.

Explanation:

In the measurement of a set, precision refers to how much coincidence exists in the measurements of an specific value, as the measurements are close, we can say the volumes are precise.

Accuracy means the agreement that exists between the average of one

large series of measurements and the value of measurement

Media is 4,96 ml and I wanted to measure 5 ml. It is also close.
