Distinguishing accuracy and precision Four research teams measured the half life of a radioactive isotope and what each team wrote in its team notebook is shown in the table below Suppose a later and more reliable measurement gives 0 780 s for the half life of the same isotope Decide which of the earlier measurements was the mo accurate and which was the most precise team A B C D what was written in the notebook 0 800s 0 005s 0 79s between 0 776s and 0 780s 0 760 0 10 most accurate measurement 3 5 most precise measurement
