What does precision in science terms mean?
If you are trying to ask "what does precision in science mean" then I can begin to answer your question. Precision in measurement is a way of deciding how accurate a measurement is. If I were to measure my height with a ruler stick and a pencil against a wall I would expect the measurement to be accurate to a few millimetres. This is usually expressed in scientific terms as "plus or minus" so many millimetres. It is considered unscientific and unfair to describe measurements you may make in scientific work to a greater precision than you can actually make. I am about 5.9 metres (+- 1 cm) but it would be inaccurate and unscientific to say that I was 5.9354 metres tall. JCF
What does precision mean in maths terms?
In mathematics, the word precision is used to describe the total number of digits (the number of significant figures) used in a number to approximate another number. For example, given a number 145.37823 the number 145 approximates the previous number with a precision of 3, and 145.3782 approximates it with a precision of 7. In other words, in maths, at least arithmetically speaking, precision is just another word for significant figures. In statistics, precision is usually a measurement of how well a measurement system gives consistent results, and is the reciprocal of variance.

What are the advantages of precision bearings?
Precision bearings, on the other hand, are highly accurate in terms of material quality, consistency of finish and diameter, and repeatability of tolerance levels.
What does the same level of precision mean in math terms?
um I don't know,but it really isn't that important if you think about it you might not end up using this in everyday life understand?
What does precision mean as it relates to scientific measurement?
Precision refers to how close the values in a set of data are with respect to each other. An indication of precision is given by the mean deviation from the mean of a set of readings (Standard deviation also will do): Mean deviation from mean = Summation (Modulus(X - mean)) / n where X denotes the individual readings and n is the number of readings taken. A small mean deviation from mean indicates high precision.

Does the speedometer have poor precision or poor accuracy?
Poor precision. Precision refers to the consistency of repeated measurements, while accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true value. If a speedometer consistently shows a speed that is off by a fixed amount from the actual speed (e.g., always reads 5 mph higher), it has poor accuracy. If it fluctuates widely even for the same speed, it has poor precision.
What is concerned with the reproducibility of measurements?
The term repeatability is usd for an experiment realized by a single person.Reproductibility is used for an experiment realized by two or more persons.
What does precision mean in scientific term?
Accuracy is how close you are to your expected value and precision is how close together your experimental values are.
