Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the context of measurements, what does precision refer to? (2022)
  • 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.
