Front

What is the definition of Accuracy in measurements?

Back

Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value.

Front

What is the difference between Accuracy and Precision?

Back

Accuracy indicates closeness to the true value, while precision indicates consistency among repeated measurements.

Front

Which is more important in scientific measurements: Accuracy or Precision?

Back

Both are important; accuracy ensures correctness, while precision ensures reliability.

Front

What does it mean if a measurement is both Accurate and Precise?

Back

It means the measurements are close to the true value and also close to each other.

Front

What does it mean if a measurement is Accurate but not Precise?

Back

It means the measurements are close to the true value but vary widely from each other.

Front

What does it mean if a measurement is Precise but not Accurate?

Back

It means the measurements are consistent with each other but far from the true value.

Front

What does it mean if a measurement is neither Accurate nor Precise?

Back

It means the measurements are neither close to the true value nor consistent with each other.
