Solution

The student who does not follow proper procedures for instrument use could affect the "accuracy" of the measurements.

Here's why:

  1. Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value. If a student does not follow the correct procedures for using an instrument, they may not measure the quantity correctly, leading to a result that is far from the true value.

  2. Precision refers to how close repeated measurements are to each other. This is more about the consistency of the measurements and less about the procedure followed.

  3. Resolution refers to the smallest change in a quantity that an instrument can detect. This is more about the instrument's capabilities and less about the procedure followed.

  4. Sensitivity refers to how much the output of the instrument changes when the quantity being measured changes. This is also more about the instrument's capabilities and less about the procedure followed.

Therefore, not following proper procedures would most likely affect the accuracy of the measurements.
