    Her results are precise and accurate.

    Explanation:

    Precision is the ability to reproduce the same result in an experimental set up. From the results obtained, we can see that she was to a large extent able to replicate nearly the same values throughout the experimental set up.

    Accuracy is the closeness of the observed value to the true value. We can conclude that she was able to obtain an accurate result which mimics the true value expected from the experimental set up.
