Accuracy

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Accuracy is how close a measurement is to the true value, regardless of agreement between repeated measurements.

Show

A second dispenser's five fills land within 3 mL of the 296 mL target — accurate — yet span over 4 mL, making it imprecise.

Watch for

Agreeing with neighboring readings doesn't prove correctness; accuracy and precision are independent, and a result can be accurate yet imprecise.
