Matter and Measurement

In the universe, there is matter, energy, and void space. The universe contains energy and void space. The definition of matter can be considered as something which possesses mass and consumes space. Chemistry is that branch of science which deals with the study of matter. Under chemistry, nature, composition, and the changes occurring to matter are discussed.

Question

Four research teams measured the mass of a fossilized sauropod skull, and what each team wrote in its team notebook is shown in the table below.

Suppose a later and more reliable measurement gives 10.00 kg for the mass of the same fossil. Decide which of the earlier measurements was the most accurate, and which was the most precise.
