Why is it important to both accurate and precise when you make measurements?
Sh*t means Feces or Faeces
Can a measurements be both precise and accurate?
yes...
What provides a more accurate description of matter than measurements?
There is no more accurate descriptions of matter than measurements. To get the description right make your measurements precise.
How do you keep your measurements consistent even if you are not precise or accurate?
You could do it by saying that all your measurements were 10 centimetres - irrespective of what they actually were. That would be neither precise nor accurate but it sure would be consistent!
A measurement that is accurate is one that?
The measurement that is accurate is one that is precise. These are also commonly titled accurate measurements in the books.
Explain how a series of measurements can be precise without being accurate?
yes
Are precise measurements always accurate?
No. A broken clock gives a very precise time, but most of the time it is wrong.
What three steps can you take to ensure that measurements are both accurate and precise?
you can predict
Why would it be important for your lab results to be both accurate and precise?
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!
Would it be more important for your car speedometer to be accurate or precise?
Accurate or precise are one and the same to which the automotive speedometer would never be.
How can a measurement be accurate but not precise?
Precision: how close measurements are to each other Accuracy: how close measurements are to the "true" or accepted value. If you do 3 trials of an experiment and you get 1.00 grams, 1.01 grams, and 1.03 grams as your answers but the real value was supposed to be close to 6.79 grams, your data was precise but not accurate.
What three steps can you take to insure that your measurment are both accurate and precise?
you can predict, estimate or use mathematical tools to make sure your measurements are precise and accurate i improved this answer i didn't change anything except for the punctuation i am not sure if this is right!!
