Chapter 1 Section 2. Accuracy. describes how close a measured value is to the true value of the quantity measured. . . a.k.a. “the right answer”, or the agreed upon answer (“consensus” among scientists). Problem Solving class 1 for Physics 1A and Higher Physics 1A. What are problem solving classes?. These form a bridge between lecture material, labs and the exam.. In some problem solving classes you will be introduced to material covered in the lab part of the course.. I. n . M. easurements and in Calculations. Types of . Experimental. Errors:. Random Errors. :. A result of variations in the performance of the instrument and/or the operator. Do NOT consistently occur throughout a lab. Variable is a factor that affects the outcome of an experiment.. 3 Types of variables. Experimental/ Independent Variable. The variable that you change . Dependent Variable. The variable that you measure. A Practical Guide. What you should already know well. What you need to know, . and use. , in this lab.

When taking scientific measurements, the goals are to measure . accurately. and with . precision. .. Accuracy. . refers to how close a measured value is to the actual or real . value. Precision. . 1 Accuracy and Precision Notes Chemistry 1 2 Uncertainty in Measurements There is no such thing as a perfect measurement! All measurements have a degree of uncertainty because Instruments have flaws Accuracy of a measurement:. An indication of how close the measurement is to the accepted value. Percentage difference can be calculated to give a quantitative indication of a measurement’s accuracy—the smaller the percentage difference, the greater the . Friday. , September 2. nd. , 2016. Accuracy . vs. Precision –. Accuracy. – how close a measurement is to the actual value. Precision. – how close a group of measurements are to each other..
