    Student A is accurate and Student B is precise.

    Explanation:

    Accuracy is nothing but how close a measured value is to its standard value. Precision means how closer two or more than two measurements are to one another, despite whether those values are accurate or not.

    In Student A's measurement, 10.11 ml, 10.04 ml and 9.97 ml are closer to the standard value, so they are accurate.

    Student B's value 9.45 and 9.5 are closer to one another, so it is precise.
