Precision Precision Precision Precision Precision is how closely repeated measurements
agree with each other. Precision is usually
expressed as standard deviation (SD).
Accuracy
Accuracy Accuracy Accuracy Accuracy is defined as the nearness of a test
result to the true value.
Although good precision suggests good accuracy,
precise results can be inaccurate. The figure
explains these definitions.
In a laboratory using a standard solution of 10.0
mg/L manganese and a representative lot of
reagent, an operator obtained with a single
instrument a standard deviation of 3.0 mg/L.
