What is meant by measurement is accurate but not precise?
An accurate but not precise measurement would be an approximate measurement. For example, in cooking or baking, the ingredients list might indicate one cup of a certain item. Scientifically, however, one cup, (or 8 ounces) would not be a precise measurement for testing purposes. Instead, a precisemeasurement would be required, especially when the results of a specific test need to be reproducible and the quantities are minute, as in micrograms, for example. Accuracy in measurement is of closeness to the actual or exact, but precision in measurement is closeness to the same spot each time it is taken.
A person estimate of 16319.06Cm exceeded the actual measurement by 309.012Cm What was the actual measurement?
The correct measurement is 16010.048 cm.
What if actual value - measured value is negative?
Then the measured value is larger than the actual value.
What is the difference between actual measurement and estimate?
An actual measurement is going to be more accurate than an estimate.
How close a measurement is to the actual value?
This is termed the accuracy of the measurement.
The closeness of a measurement to its actual value is a measurement is called?
It's signature figures
The ability to make a measurement that is as close to an actual value is called a...?
The closeness to the actual value is called the accuracy. The reproducibility of the measurement is call the precision.
What level of closeness between a measured quantity and the actual or standard value?
It's the similarity I think.

It is approx 12.8%.
What is the difference between Lineal Foot and Linear foot?
Lineal foot can be measured on the ground. It is related to an actual measurement. Linear foot is a distance not necessarily measured along the ground. Also linear foot can refer to board feet.
What if actual value - measured value is negative?
Then the measured value is larger than the actual value.
What is the difference between actual measurement and estimate?
An actual measurement is going to be more accurate than an estimate.
