Accuracy Vs Precision Physics. A minute ago by. Nov 26 2014 The idea to get used to here is that accuracy only refers to the agreement between the measured value and the expected value and that this may or may not say something about the quality of the measuring instrument.
Accuracy is defined as to the degree of which a measurement conforms to the correct value. Accuracy is the proximity of measurement results to the true value. Accuracy refers to the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.
In contrast precision is a measure of reproducibility.
Accuracy and precision are used in context of measurement. Precision refers to the repeatability of measurement. Play this game to review Physics. Play this game to review Physics.
