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>

Which causes the biodiversity of rainforests?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

B. Stable ecosystems

Explanation:

The main cause of the biodiversity experienced in rain forests is largely due to the stable ecosystems that they enjoy.

A stable ecosystem is a sustainable one that does not change too much over the course of time.

Most organisms and the diverse life forms are easily nourished by the provisions made available by nature in such regions.

  • Most rain forest receives a large amount of solar radiation and energy all year round as the sun is directly overhead here.
  • This suggests that the producers have enough energy to cater for their own need and that of the organisms there in.
  • The consumers and decomposers have sufficient food available all year round.
  • This coupled with other factors whereby organisms have specially adapted to environmental conditions makes a rain forest very biodiverse with life forms.
  • An unstable ecosystem cannot be biodiverse

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Dispersal fundamentally influences spatial population dynamics but little is known about dispersal variation in landscapes where spatial heterogeneity is generated predominantly by disturbance and succession. We tested the hypothesis that habitat succession following fire inhibits dispersal, leading to declines over time in genetic diversity in the early successional gecko Nephrurus stellatus.
