    Precision is a measure of how close a value is to the ideal value. In this case, we calculate the difference to know what is the closest to 4 g:

    4.05 - 4 = 0.05

    3.98 - 4 = - 0.02

    4.021 - 4 = 0.021

    We can see that the value of 3.98g has the lowest difference and is therefore the closest to 4g. Hence the most precise is:

    3.98 g
