Precision vs. Accuracy • Precision and accuracy are not the same thing. • Accuracy indicates how close you come to the actual or known value. • Precision refers to: • the number of decimal places that you can report a number to with certainty. • Or, the ability to obtain the same result over and over again. • Example: The TV weather forecaster says that it will be between 40 and 60 degrees today. The actual reading turns out to be 53. Thus, the forecast was accurate, but not very precise. The forecaster provided a true statement but without enough detail for us to make plans. For tomorrow, the forecast is 52.47 degrees at 4 PM. It turns out to be 61 degrees. This forecast was very precise, but completely inaccurate. • So what good is one without the other? Not much! • The above examples show that precision is useless without accuracy, but that accuracy with little precision does not tell much either.
