Question

What is the difference between accurate data and reproducible data?

Answer 1

Answer:

Accuracy is ‘the state of being correct’ and on the other hand precision is ‘the state of being exact.

Explanation:

Accuracy shows the nearness of the measurement with the actual measurement while precision shows the nearness of an individual measurement with other measurements.

Accuracy focuses on the errors caused by the problem in the instrument. while precision is concerned with errors, which occurs periodically with no recognizable pattern.

If the measurement is precise but inaccurate, the result will not be the expected one. And if the result is accurate but imprecise, then there are huge variations in the measurements. And finally, if the actual measurement is neither accurate nor precise, then the result would not have correctness and exactness at the same time.

Answer 2

Accuracy is a general concept while precision is more of a mathematical concept.
