Answer:

Accurate

Explanation:

Accuracy deals with the nearness of the measured values to the true value.

Precision is the ability to reproduce a certain result in a repeated fashion.

  • From the given masses of the 5-lb bags, we see that the mean value of the measurement is 5.1-lb
  • This value is very close to the original mass of the bag which is 5-lb bags.
  • We can say the reading is accurate

The reading is not precise because, the same weight is not reproduced. Different values of weight was reported from each of the measurement process.
