ExampleAccuracy versus precision

Five readings of a 1.0000 inch gauge block all fall between 1.0049 and 1.0051 inch. How would you describe the gauge?

  1. Accurate and preciseYour answer
  2. Precise but not accurateRight answer
  3. Accurate but not precise
  4. Neither accurate nor precise
  1. You: My readings all land within 0.001 inch of each other, but every one is 0.005 inch off the gauge block. Is the gauge accurate or precise?

  2. Mic

    Precise, not accurate. Precision is how close repeated readings are to each other. Accuracy is how close they are to the true value, here the gauge block's size. Tight readings that all miss by the same amount point to a bias, which calibration can correct.

    Key point

    Close together is precision. Close to the true value is accuracy.
