Accuracy is the closeness of a measurement to the actual value being measured.

<h3>Further Explanation</h3>

Accuracy

No measurement is completely accurate. There is always some degree of error in the measurements. The closeness of a measurement to the true value is called accuracy.  

Precision

Precision is how close measurements are to each other. Higher precision instruments allow the measurements to be very close to each other and give a better approximation of a measurement and increases the accuracy of the reading as well.  

Experimental errors are considered to ensure that the data or the method is accurate and reliable. The lower the experimental error, the more confidence we have that the measurement is near the true value. It also provides insight about how to optimize the method to yield better results.

Kinds of Experimental Error

Random error

Random errors are errors that are beyond the control of the experimenter. These are variations that happen by chance and may be reduced by performing multiple trials and averaging the results.

Systematic error

Errors incurred by the way the experiment was conducted are called systematic errors. Their effect cannot be reduced by doing more trials but by changing the design or the method used to obtain the results.

<span>Accuracy is the concept being studied here. Compared to precision, accuracy concerns how close to actually being "right" a value or measurement is. Precision, conversely, concerns how exact a measurement is (when using significant figures, decimal places, powers, or similar).</span>

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Use cooking methods that minimize/eliminate contact with water.

Explanation:

Vitamins are important nutrients found in fruits and vegetables. Vitamins can be easily leached out and it is therefore recommended that the vegetables should be consumed immediately after purchase or stored in an airtight container.

The use of cooking method that eliminate contact with water such as freezing, keeping in a close container will help retain the vitamins, reduce degradation rate and prevent it form been lost.

Imagine that a geologist finds a sedimentary rock with ripple marks in it.
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

There are many things that can be read from ripple marks in sedimentary rocks. To start, a geologist looks at: the types (sizes, composition, shapes) of grains in the rock, the height of the “waves”, the distance between peaks (highs) and troughs (lows), whether the rock seems to be lying in its original position, and the internal shapes of the ripples (by looking at the edges of broken pieces). They also seek to determine the age of the rock and information about other rocks lying below and above the specific rock.
