# In lab one student obtained a weight measurement of $3.2 kg$ for a given substance, but the actual or known weight is $10 kg$, then his measurement is :

not accurate

##### SOLUTION
Since the measured value of weight of the substance is far away from the value of actual weight, so the measurement is said to be inaccurate.

You're just one step away
