What is the difference between accuracy and precision and which is most important to scientific measurement?
Both accuracy and precision are important to scientific measurement. I'll try to explain the difference with a couple of illustrations. I should start by saying, sometimes the words are used interchangeably but they shouldn't be. I consider precision to mean resolution. That is how fine/small a reading you can get.Assume an electronic thermometer (digital display) can display answers to the nearest one hundredth of a degree. But, the thermometer isn't able to measure with that accurately. Maybe it's only accurate to the nearest whole degree. In this case the precision is greater than is supported by the accuracy of the device.Now take the opposite case where the thermometer is able to measure temperature accurately to one hundredth of a degree but the instrument can only display whole degrees. In this case the precision does not support the accuracy.Ideally the accuracy and precision of an instrument are the same but often that's not the case.
What is precision measure?

What is the math term that refers to the degree of exactness?
precision
What does the precision of an instrument determine?
the answer is you have to use the right instrument on somthing to get the right answer
what is the difference between accuracy and precision?
''Accuracy is the degree of closeness to true value. Precision is the degree to which an instrument or process will repeat the same value. In other words, accuracy is the degree of veracity while precision is the degree of reproducibility.
What nine letter word refers to the degree of exactness?

What is sampling precision?
it implies the degree to which the strate choosen for research is apt
What is a prescribed decimal place called?
It is a specified degree of accuracy or precision.
What is an equivalent decimal to 2.84?
2.840, although that DOES imply a greater degree of precision.
What is precision resistor?
A precision resistor is a resistor that has an actual value that is very close (or precise) to its nominal (or stated value). Therefore, precision resistors have a very degree of accuracy of being very close to their nominal values.
Which digit in the following number is the one that determines its precision 10.846?
If a number is given to the true degree of precision, this is always determined by its last digit - in this case, 6.
What is an equivalent decimal for the number 3.5?
3.50 is equal but it implies a greater degree of precision.
