Is it possible to have measurement that are precise but not accurate?
Yes it is possible. 21.354 inches is very precise but could be inaccurate.
What is an inaccurate result?
One that is heavily rushed and given almost no thought to.
How is it possible to get three precise but inaccurate measurement of the same volume of water?
Definition of Precision: Referring to how close a group of measurements are to each other. Accuracy: Refers to how close the measurement is to the true or accepted value. If the volume of the water was 20 L and I measured it wrong one and got 19, measured it again and got 19, and then measured it a third time and got 19, that would be a PRECISE measurement, since you got the same result three times in a row. It's INACCURATE because it isn't the CORRECT measurement. Hope that helped!
What determine the precision of a calculated result based on measurements?
the precision of the least precise measuement
How is the precision of a calculated result related to the precision of the measurements in the calculations?
The precision of a calculated answer is limited by the least precise measurements used in the calculation.
How do you spell inaccurate?
That is the correct spelling of "inaccurate" (not correct, or not precise).
What is another word for not precise?
vague, careless, inaccurate
Is it possible to have measurement that are precise but not accurate?

What is the antonym of innaccurate?
The word inaccurate means not accurate or imprecise. Some antonyms for the word inaccurate would be correct, right, factual, precise, true and accurate.
Is less precise instrument always more accurate?
No. Accurate relates to how close the actual measurement the instrument measures. Precise relates to how much detail the instrument gives when measuring. They are independent to each other: An measurement can be precise and accurate (eg the value of π is 3.141592654) An measurement can be precise and inaccurate (eg the value of π is 1.733677432) An measurement can be less precise and accurate (eg the value of π is 3.14) An measurement can be less precise and inaccurate (eg the value of π is 1.73).
What is the prefix for precise?
-Curo is the suffix even though it is not included in the word. -Curo means to take care of.
Can a value be both precise and approximate?
Yes. Precision and accuracy are different specifications. A value may be precise but inaccurate, or, to put it in other words, it may be precisely wrong.
What is an inaccurate result?
One that is heavily rushed and given almost no thought to.
What is the difference between 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.

When using a tympanic thermometer it is important to remember that inaccurate readings may result from?
Impacted ear wax?
What is the relationship between standard deviation and precision?
The more precise a result, the smaller will be the standard deviation of the data the result is based upon.
