6. Two measuring instruments A and B were tested. After examining the results, it was
discovered that the output from instrument B has greater variance the output from instrument A.
If you are going to recommend an instrument to another scientist, which of the two instruments
would you recommend?
A. Instrument A because scientists needs greater precision in their measuring instruments.
B. Instrument A because giving an instrument that has an less varied output is limiting to other
scientists.

be fixed by adjusting the some parts of the measuring device?
