Measured Values• Accuracy of a measurement is

the closeness of the measurement to the true value.• Precision refers to the

reproducibility within a group of measurements.

IndexPrecision, Accuracy and Error

• Accuracy = % Error

= 100 X (Experimental – Actual)

Actual Value

• Precision = % Deviations

= 100 X ( ave. deviation)

mean

deviation = l measured – mean l

RULES: ADD AND SUBTRACT

decimal place determines the number of digits.

The last COMMON decimal place is the last number you can justify

Ex. 10.13
