because they are both a reliable measurement and is both accurate and precise

∙ 14y agoAccuracy is whether or not the average of all of the trials in a specific experiment is equal to the intended amount--it may have been given to you or you may have to do some calculations to determine the correct amount. Accuracy is important in an experiment so one can come up with the correct answer. One one to deter from having accurate measurements is having random or systematic errors (random=fault on experimenter's behalf, systematic=error in calibration of an istrument). Precision, on the other hand, entails the reproducibility of an experiment. This just means that all trial results were fairly close to each other. This does not necessarily mean the experiment was accurate, however, as precise measurements can be all close to each other but far away from the intended result. This could be the result of a systematic error. Accuracy and precision are both important to have in an experiment as it ensures both a correct result and reproducibility.

What is scientific measurement based on?
precision and accuracy
What are accuracy and precision and what is the difference between accuracy and precision?
Imagine a dartboard. An accurate measurement would be analogous to hitting the bulls-eye. While a precise measurement is just the tight clustering of shots.
Compares a measurement to the real or accepted value?
accuracy. precision how closely the group of data are in relation to each other
If some measurements agree closely but differ widely from the actual value?
Then they have precision but not accuracy.
The closeness of a measurement to its actual value is a measurement is called?
It's signature figures
Why are both accuracy and precision important making a measurement?
because they are both a reliable measurement and is both accurate and precise
Why are both accuracy and precision important in making a measurement?
because they are both a reliable measurement and is both accurate and precise
Why are accuracy and precision important in making measurment?
because they are both a reliable measurement and is both accurate and precise
Define accuracy and precision?
Accuracy and precision are synonyms. They both mean without error, they are exactly right, No more and no less.
How accuracy and precision important to pilot?

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.
How accuracy and precision is important in pilot?
Accuracy and precision is very important for pilots. Not just for the safety of the aircraft but for the accuracy of your destination. For a two hour flight, a 10 degree off course heading can lead you tens of miles away, or 30 minutes away from your destination.
Does standard deviation give a measure of accuracy or precision?
precision
What is accuracy and precision and the difference between them?
The term accuracy describes how far your observation/measurement is from the correct result. Precision describes how repeatable your results are, regardless of their accuracy..
What is the difference between the accuracy of measurements and the precision of measurements?
Precision is how close your measurements are. Accuracy is how close your measurements are to the actual measurement.
What is precision?
Precision is a writer's attention to accuracy in world choice.
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.
