To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Precision Precision is defined as the smallest unit of measurement that can be reliably read from the measuring instrument. In this case, we can determine the precision by looking at the readings. **Given Readings:** - \( t_1 = 39.6 \, s \) - \( t_2 = 39.9 \, s \) ...
