Accuracy and Precision Accuracy • how close the average of a set of measurements is to the true value • Measured using Percent Error % Error = Experimental – Accepted X 100 Accepted
Precision • How close a set of measured values are to one another • Measured using Range • Highest - lowest
Accuracy and Precision Students did trials to measure the density of a metal. The accepted density is 7.2 g/cm3. Were they accurate or precise? Set 1 7.21 7.25 7.18 Set 2 6.40 7.90 7.30 Set 3 6.45 6.52 6.48
Example 1 A student measures the melting point of a sample of beryllium and does four trials. The trials result in melting points of 1267 oC, 1245 oC, 1270 oC, 1255 oC. Calculate the range and comment on precision. Also calculate the percent error (accepted = 1278 oC.)
Error Analysis: Range Example 2 A student measures the density of a sample of lead and does four trials. The trials result in densities of 11.3, 10.5, 11.9, 10.8 g/cm3. The accepted density of lead is 11.4 g/cm3. Comment on accuracy and precision.
