Q: In the context of measurements, what does precision refer to? (2022)
Solution:
Precision refers to the consistency of repeated measurements, regardless of their accuracy.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that precision is about how close multiple measurements are to each other.
Step 2: Realize that precision does not consider whether those measurements are correct or accurate.
Step 3: Think of precision as repeating the same measurement several times and seeing if you get the same result each time.
Step 4: For example, if you measure the length of a table three times and get 100 cm each time, your measurements are precise.
Step 5: However, if the actual length of the table is 95 cm, your measurements are not accurate, but they are still precise.
