How close a measured quantity is to the actual or known value?
Accuracy
What if actual value - measured value is negative?
Then the measured value is larger than the actual value.
What reflects how close a measurement is to the true value of the thing being measured?
Approximation
What is the equation for accuracy?
%error = (Actual value- Measured value) / actual value *100
What is a Systematic?
Systematic error is the difference between the actual value of what is being measured and the value you found. The results of systematic error are precise but not accurate.
Define percentage error?
an error is the difference between a predicted value and the actual value. % errors tell you how close or how far you came to the actual answer is the form of a percentage. Mathematically: [(accepted value-measured value) / accepted lValue] * 100% note: if your answer is negative it means you were, for example, 15% short of the actual answer
Precision is a measure of how close a result or measurement is to the accepted value of the quantity being measured?
False
How close a measured value is to an accepted value is called a?
accuracy
How close the measured value is the the accepted value?
This value is variable, for each type of measurement.
How close is your estimated value to be measured temperature of the water?
Depends on you
What is the systematic error detection?
Systematic error is the difference between the actual value of what is being measured and the value you found. The results of systematic error are precise but not accurate.
How close the measures value is to actual value?
This is termed the accuracy of the measurement.
