Understanding Accuracy and Precision

What is the primary distinction between accuracy and precision?

• Precision is about closeness to a target value, while accuracy is about closeness to each other.

• Accuracy and precision are the same concepts.

• Accuracy is about reproducibility, while precision is about quality.

• Accuracy is about closeness to a target value, while precision is about closeness to each other.

In the context of playing darts, what does high precision but low accuracy mean?

• Darts are far from each other but close to the bullseye.

• Darts are close to each other but far from the bullseye.

• Darts are far from each other and far from the bullseye.

• Darts are close to each other and close to the bullseye.

Which scenario demonstrates low precision but high accuracy?

• Measurements are close to each other and on the target.

• Measurements are far from each other but close to the target.

• Measurements are close to each other but far from the target.

• Measurements are far from each other and far from the target.

Why is accuracy often more desired than precision in quality management?

• Because precision ensures measurements are close to the target value.

• Because accuracy ensures measurements are close to the target value.

• Because precision is not important in quality management.

• Because accuracy ensures measurements are reproducible.

How can precision be determined in a set of measurements?

• By checking if measurements are close to the target value.

• By taking only one measurement.

• By ensuring measurements are far from each other.

• By ensuring measurements are reproducible and close to each other.
