The precision of a calculated answer is limited by the least precise measurements used in the calculation.
You cannot because the median of a distribution is not related to its standard deviation.
angle of deviation = angle of prism x ( refractice index -1)
The precision of a calculated answer is limited by the least precise measurements used in the calculation.
Because the z-score table, which is heavily related to standard deviation, is only applicable to normal distributions.
Standard error is a measure of precision.
"Precision" is high when you get the SAME answer every time. Accuracy is high, when you get the CORRECT answer. You can hit a target in the same place everytime which is very HIGH precision; however, if that place is not the "Bulls Eye", your accuracy is lousy.
Precision is a measure of how much tolerance your observation has. If you measure time in an experiment as 1.7 +/- .3 seconds, then you are saying that the obervation is anywhere from 1.4 seconds to 2.0 seconds. On the other hand, if you say 1.70 +/- .05 seconds, you state a range of 1.65 seconds to 1.75 seconds. The second observation is more precise than the first. Accuracy is a measure of how correct a measurement is as compared with a standard. If the instrument that measured 1.7 seconds was actually 1.6 seconds, then it would have an accuracy error of .1 seconds. Precision is related to random error. Accuracy is related to systematic error.
Mean and standard deviation are not related in any way.
You cannot because the standard deviation is not related to the median.
