Accuracy and Precision Accuracy- the closeness of measurements to the correct value of the quantity measured Precision- the closeness of a set of measurements

Accuracy- how close a measurement is to _____________. Precision- how close a measurement is to ________________.

Measured values that are accurate are close to the accepted value. Measured values that are precise are close to one another, but they are not necessarily accurate.

Study Check A technician measures the density of a substance in a lab. He records values of 2.000,1.999, and g/mL. The correct value is Were the technician’s results accurate? Were the results precise?

A student was asked to measure the pH of a solution. The student performed four trials. The table below shows the results obtained by the study: If the actual pH of the solution was 6.40, comment on the student’s accuracy and precision. TrialpH

Percentage Error The accuracy of experimental results can be determined by calculating the percentage error. Percentage error = Value experimental -Value accepted X 100 Value accepted

Study Check What is the percentage error for a mass measurement of 17.7g if the correct value is 21.2g?

Study Check A student took a calibrate 200.o g mass, weighed it on a laboratory balance, and found it read g. What is the student’s percent error?

Error in Measurement Some error or uncertainty always exists in any measurement. the skill of the measurer limits the reliability of results the conditions of measurement can affect the outcome

Recording Measurements Record the volume of liquid in the graduated cylinder to the correct number of digits.

A proper measurement should always go one more place value than the divisions marked on the instrument. For example, if the instrument is marked to every 0.1 unit, the measurement can be estimated to the hundredths place.
