The word accurate is a synonym for precise. So the most accurate (or precise) answer would be 57.213 because it is more accurate if the number is not rounded.
precision is taking place
It is not a measurement, therefore, it is infinitely precise. There is no uncertainty in the number.
By using a precise instrument. One that is calibrated by a recognised body.
the nearest .01 mL
No. An answer is only as precise as the least precise measurement from which it was calculated.
What determines how precise a measurement is
5011m is more precise. This is equal to 5.011km. Is is therefore measuring to the nearest one thousandth of a km, whereas 5km is (unless stated or implied otherwise) written to the nearest km.
It is precise if it is repeatable.
2581 = 2,581
the answer is Exact or accurate smaller the unit or fraction of a unit used in measuring more precise than a measurement to the nearest foot
You can make a very precise measurement with a poorly calibrated device.
No. Accurate relates to how close the actual measurement the instrument measures. Precise relates to how much detail the instrument gives when measuring. They are independent to each other: An measurement can be precise and accurate (eg the value of π is 3.141592654) An measurement can be precise and inaccurate (eg the value of π is 1.733677432) An measurement can be less precise and accurate (eg the value of π is 3.14) An measurement can be less precise and inaccurate (eg the value of π is 1.73).
