Accuracy VS Precision and Density
Accuracy: how close your results are to the accepted value.
Precision: how close your data are to each other.
Errors: systemic and random
Percent error: |(accepted value-experimental value)/(accepted value)x(100)|
Experimental value= average of trials
Accepted value= given.
Density= mass/volume
The amount of the substance does not affect the density because the mass and volume will increase in a ratio together (ex, as the mass increases the volume increases the same amount)
