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!
because they are both a reliable measurement and is both accurate and precise
Religion is important during an experiment because it tells you if the results are consistent. If you didn't repeat portions of the experiment, than you wouldn't be able to gain accurate results.
By repeating the experiment and getting the same results it validates those results.
Because if no one did than the new knowledge wouldn't be spread in the scientific community, which would mean that there would be no way for other people to retest whatever the experiment or etc... was, and no progress would be made.
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.
Accurate or precise are one and the same to which the automotive speedometer would never be.
The word accurate is a synonym for precise. So the most accurate (or precise) answer would be 57.213 because it is more accurate if the number is not rounded.
Very, the more accurate the the measurements the more accurate the results, thus furthering more accurate tests down the road based on said results. The more tests you do on bad results the further off the results get with every test you do. Changing the independent of the test with bad measurements would void a result.
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 lack of accurate results APEX :D
Yes, the markings on your 50 mL beaker would be accurate enough to use for precise meansurement of volumes. The markings on a 50 mL Erlenmeyer flask would also be accurate enough.
An accurate but not precise measurement would be an approximate measurement. For example, in cooking or baking, the ingredients list might indicate one cup of a certain item. Scientifically, however, one cup, (or 8 ounces) would not be a precise measurement for testing purposes. Instead, a precisemeasurement would be required, especially when the results of a specific test need to be reproducible and the quantities are minute, as in micrograms, for example. Accuracy in measurement is of closeness to the actual or exact, but precision in measurement is closeness to the same spot each time it is taken.
a accurate result would be true as possible but a reliable result would be one that is compared
Millimetres would allow for more precision than decimetre. If you can measure a smaller quantity, this always allows you to be more precise and accurate.
Accuracy is how close to the truth and precision is how narrow the the range of uncertainty or error. For example in guessing weight, of 150 # person, an accurate guess could be 140 # +- 15 #. An inaccurate guess would be 145# +- 2#. The first guess is accurate but not precise, the second is inaccurate but more precise.
The word inaccurate means not accurate or imprecise. Some antonyms for the word inaccurate would be correct, right, factual, precise, true and accurate.
The adjective is "precise" (accurate). The noun is "precision." The astronomical term would be "precesses" (subject to precession). The similar plural words are "processes" (actions as part of an activity) and "princesses" (more than one princess).
