1.2a Notes – Standards of Measurement

Objectives Distinguish between precision and accuracy with respect to experimental data.

What is a standard? A standard is an exact quantity that people agree to use to compare measurements

Precision vs. Accuracy Precision = how closely measurements are to each other and how carefully measurements were made Accuracy = compares a measurement to the real or accept value
