  9. Any Questions? The course syllabus will be posted online, as well as information from this PowerPoint.

  10. Precision vs. Accuracy • Measure the width of the room in feet • Estimate the distance in receipt tape with as much precision as possible.

  11. Precise • The ability of a measurement to be consistently reproduced. • Exactness • NOT necessarily “Accurate”

  12. Accurate • The condition of being true, correct, or exact. • The extent to which a measurement agrees with the standard value for that measurement. • Free from defect or error.

  13. So, what is the width of the room?

  14. So, what is the width of the room? • Approximately 30 feet
