Rank the data sets in decreasing order of precision. Rank from most to least precise. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.


In a laboratory experiment, the density of a concentrated sugar solution was determined by measuring the volume of the solution and corresponding mass. Three students each made a set of measurements using a different balance and used the results to calculate density. Their results are summarized here.
