Interpretation : The process for the evaluation of terms accuracy and precision is to be determined.
Concept Introduction : Accuracy refers to how closely the value being measured matches the actual value in a measurement. Precision is a measurement of how well two measurements match one another, regardless of the actual value.
Answer to Problem 13LC
Accuracy is evaluated by comparing the correct value with the measured value in a measurement.
Precision is evaluated by comparing the two or more repeated values in a measurement.
Explanation of Solution
Correctness and reproducibility are the two features of measurement.
The concepts of accuracy and precision are related to correctness and reproducibility respectively.
