I have a low tolerance for precise inaccuracy, though I’ve been in such situations more often than I care to admit. The upside is that it’s like an epiphany when awareness hits (or someone hits me ...

Precision can be defined as the closeness in agreement of results during a series of repeat measurements under presumed identical conditions. These results are often expressed as a standard deviation.

Students distinguish between accuracy and precision of measurements. Accuracy, Precision, and Significant Digits: Students distinguish between accuracy and precision of measurements and make ...

However, given my definition above, the second statement could be more accurate if a better measurement was available, such as a more precise scale. Thus, truth is "correct" when you've fully ...

If you had to choose between accuracy vs precision, which would to take? Well, if your goal is simply to hit what you’re currently shooting at, you’d take accuracy over precision. Fortunately, it ...

Do you ever have to ensure that an exact amount of time passes between two tasks in your microcontroller code? Do you know what’s the difference between precision and accuracy? Today, [Jim Mack] tells ...

As any good Internet commenter will know, accuracy and precision are two subtly different things. But how do they differ, and why is it important? In fact, accuracy is a measure of closeness while ...
