A group of precise measurements are a group of repetitive measurements that are very close together. Ie the standard deviation between the measurements is small. Not to be confused with a accurate measurement! Think about it like this, if you measure a piece of wood 5 times and each time you get an identical answer then the measurement are said to be precise. If however if turns out that despite measuring the length 5 times and getting the same answer you discover that the length is significantly off from the "true" answer, then you were inaccurate!

Why pilot of plane have precise measurements of velocity?
because fucck you thats why
Which is more precise Celsius or Fahrenheit?
They are equally precise - they are simply measurements of temperature. Precision depends on the device used to measure.
Should conclusions to experiments be based on precise measurements?
give us full answer!!
What determines the precision of a calculated result based on measurements?
the precision of the least precise measuement
Why is it better to align the meterstick with edge of the object at the 1 cm mark rather than at the end of the stick?
meter sticks give precise measurements and in order to get the full precise answer you should start where the numbers start at on the meter stick.
Why is 8.1956 most precise measuring device?
It is not; there are more precise measurements.
Why would it be important for your lab results to be both accurate and precise?

Which two measurements are the most prrecise?
Radio-Telescope measurements are the most precise
Can a measurements be both precise and accurate?
yes...
What is the meaning of this sentence they observed precise measurements in constructing pyramids?
It means they (the builders, or architects) possessed/had very precise(exact) measurements when they were constructing (building) the pyramids.
What is the most precise measurment 6cm or 2.5cm?
2.5cm is the most precise measurement of the two measurements.
How precise are measurements to instruments?
They depend on the design of the instrument.
If two measurements are very close to each other then they are?
Precision refers to how close together a group of measurements actually are to each other. Precision has nothing to do with MORE
Why are the stopwatch measurements not precise?
The measurements are not as precise as they could be because many peoples' response times are of the order of a tenth of a second. This makes it pointless to have a stopwatch recording times to a hundredth of a second.
Are precise measurements always accurate?
No. A broken clock gives a very precise time, but most of the time it is wrong.
If some measurements agree closely with each other but differ widely from the actual value these measurements are?
precise but unreliable.
Why should your calculations never be more precise than your measurements?
Your calculations can be more precise, but the final result should be rounded, to avoid giving the impression that it is more exact than is justified by the measurements.
