Weight of a rock:In a geology course, students are learning to use a balance scale to accurately weigh rocks. One student plans to weigh a rock 20 times and then calculate the average of the 20 measurements to estimate her rock's true weight. A second student plans to weigh a rock 5 times and calculate the average of the 5 measurements to estimate his rock's true weight.
Which student is more likely to come the closest to the true weight of the rock he or she is weighing?
