Accuracy
• Measurement of how close a measurement comes to the actual or true value
• Think of accuracy like hitting the bullseye on a target.

Precision
• Can you reproduce the data • Need more than one measurement• Think of this like hitting the same area of a
target more than once.

Three targets with three arrows each to shoot.
Can you hit the bull's-eye?
Both accurate and precise
Precise but not accurate
Neither accurate nor precise
How do they compare?
Can you define accuracy vs. precision?

Precision of Lab Equipment
• Precision refers to the reproducibility of data• The more precise a piece of
equipment, the more likely you are to get the same measurement repeatedly.

Precision of Lab Equipment
• When you look at a piece of equipment, first look at its graduations (markings) and try to find out what the lines mean.
• The more precise piece of equipment has the
smallest increment change between the markings
• Usually the piece of equipment with the more graduations (lines) is the more precise.
