Describe the accuracy and precision of the image

• Accurate and Precise
• Accurate and not precise
• Not Accurate and Precise
• not accurate and not precise

This image is an example of...

• precision ONLY
• accuracy ONLY
• BOTH precision and accuracy
• NEITHER precision and accuracy 

A set of data are all close to each other, and they are close to the actual value.  This set of data can be described as...

• accurate
• precise
• both precise and accurate

Which of these is NOT true for systematic errors?

• They arise due to errors in the measuring instruments used.

• Repeating the observations or increasing the sample size can eliminate them

• They are reproducible inaccuracies that are consistently in the same direction.

• They arise from the design of the study.
