what is the difference between accuracy and precision?
''Accuracy is the degree of closeness to true value. Precision is the degree to which an instrument or process will repeat the same value. In other words, accuracy is the degree of veracity while precision is the degree of reproducibility.
What must be true for two ratio of two measurements to be a conversion factor?
The measurements must be equal to each other.
What is when measurements are close to the accepted value?
The term is accuracy
How are precise and accurate measurements evaluated?
precision and accuracy are defined terms in science.Accuracy is the closeness of a given result to the true value of a measurement. Precision of a result is represented by the scatter of a number of measurements.True value is the average of a number of careful measurements by different experimenters, using different measuring systems. (consider the height of a mountain for example.)Resolution is merely the number of digits in the answer, and of which several may be meaningless.
How do you calculate total percentage error?
It is 100*(Calculated Value - True Value)/True Value
What are the concepts of true value?
If your question is in economics, try there. If your desired True Value is in measurements, then ASTM and similar folk have useful definitions. The True Value of a measurement is the value to which many individual measurements taken by different methods and different experimenters tend. They go on to define Repeatability as the closeness of repeated measurements using the same apparatus etc. And the Reproducibility is the closeness of results achieved by different measurements with different apparatus.
Is precision refers to how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value?
No. accuracy is a measure of how close the measurements are to the true value.
Do experimental measurements give the true value of physical quantity?
No because there are always experimental errors, instrument limitations, and deviations in measurements. This is called the uncertainty. Experimental values do not give true values but rather a value with an uncertainty.
What determines the accuracy and precision of data?
These two qualities are quite different. First off, the concept of 'true value' should be accepted. This is the value to which a large number of measurements tend. Preferably measurements made by different experimenters and by different methods. 'Accuracy' is the closeness to which an individual measurement approaches the 'true value'. 'Precision' is closely related to resolution. And one may have a very precise answer, but still be well away from the true value. Resolution is the number of digits in the answer - and may well have an illusory value.
Is it true that z values have no units of measurements?
It is true; the z value has no unit of measurement. The formula for z is: (x-mu)/sigma and the units in the numerator and denominator cancel out.
Does percentage error describe the range or the values for a set percentage or measurements?
Directly, neither. However, if you know the true value you can calculate the range.
What is the difference between exact value and true value?
Exact value is the value that is correct in measurements, such as cm, km, and etc. It is widely used in fields of science and math. However, true value is used when reviewing the art work, or etc., such as saying this piece of art drawn by somebody has a true value. It means that it is very high when estimating the value of a certain thing. It is widely used in fields of ART. Now problem resolved?? HAHAHAHA
Is it true that precision in measurements is usually not critical in science?
true
How can a measurement be accurate but not precise?
Precision: how close measurements are to each other Accuracy: how close measurements are to the "true" or accepted value. If you do 3 trials of an experiment and you get 1.00 grams, 1.01 grams, and 1.03 grams as your answers but the real value was supposed to be close to 6.79 grams, your data was precise but not accurate.
If the true value is 21.751 grams what is the absolute error and the percent error?
In order to determine the absolute error of this you would have to have a measurement or an estimate of whatever this object is. at which point you would take the difference between the two.For example: 21.571 is the True value 20.000 is the Recorded Value.Thus: (True value) - (Recorded Value) = Absolute error (21.571) - (20.000) = 1.571To determine the Percent value, applying the skills learned above, it is represented by the following equation(Recorded value - True value) / True value*100%(20.000 - 21.571) / 21.751*100% = -7.28%It is possible to have multiple points of absolute error for instance. If you have 3 measurements one above the true value, the true value, and one below the true value. (e.g 20, 21.571, 22.571) can be represented as +/- 1.571g

What The closeness of a measurements to it value is a measure of it what?
