Accuracy, Precision, and Significant Figures accuracy – a measure of the deviation of the measured value from the true or accepted value (% error, etc.) precision – a measure of the agreement of …

Now you’re armed with the knowledge and tools needed to determine when accuracy and precision are important, and what equipment will best provide you with the information you need.

To determine the accuracy of the measurement, we should check by measuring something that is known. This procedure is called calibration, and it is absolutely necessary for making accurate …

The accuracy, repeatability, and linearity of an instrument or sensor are pre-determined by (laboratory) testing and mentioned in their datasheets. That means each will have its own error and spread of …

Accuracy, precision and resolution are different characteristics of weight measurements and should not be confused with one another. It is important that they not be used in isolation as a way to determine …

Precision is a description of a level of measurement that yields consistent results when repeated. It is asso-ciated with the concept of "random error", a form of observational error that leads to …

Accuracy is how close your observed (or measured) values are to the accepted value. Precision is how close your observed (or measured) values are to one another. (Repeatability) Precision is also the …
