Thanks for stopping by. Today we are going to talk about the difference between accuracy and precision.
Accuracy and precision help inform our knowledge when taking measurements.
Accuracy refers to how close something is to the target or actual. Using a target to illustrate, consistently hitting near the center would be accurate. Using another example, if we were to use a scale to weigh a 20kg dumbell 3 times, and the scale read 18.95 kg, 21.22 kgs, and 19.81 kgs for each respective weighing, we would say that scale is accurate.
Letâs jump to precision and then weâll bring it back together.
Precision refers to how consistent our results are, regardless of how close to the true value they are. Using our target example, if we hit this area of the target on every shot, then we are precise. Using the scale and 20 kg dumbell example, getting measurements of 23.11, 23.09, and 23.12 for the three trials would tell us our scale is precise, just not accurate. Itâs consistently inconsistent.
So, a quick review and comparison. Accuracy is measuring near the true value. While precision is getting consistent measurements or results.
Letâs use the target for some more examples.
This would be accurate and precise. All the points are close together and average around the true value.
This would be accurate but not precise, the results are around the true value but not too consistent with each other.
This would be precise but not accurate. All results are close together but not consistent with the true value.
And finally, this is neither precise nor accurate, this is pretty much how it looks when Iâm shooting, no consistency, not equidistant from the center, just random.
Itâs important that measuring devices are both accurate and precise, whether it be in research, construction, engineering, or even in your home. If they are not, then results from measurements will be misleading leading at best and fatal at worst.
I hope you understand accuracy and precision a little better know. Comment below if you have any questions. And subscribe for more educational content.

Finally cleared my doubt. Loved this explanation â€â€đ
I'm glad I could clear things up for you!

Safe to say this is an accurate vid
I see what you did there đ
Lol
Precisely
haha
Haha! đ
This video offers a precise definition of accuracy and an accurate representation of precision.
Copied but okay
This is better than the Ted-Ed video on the exact same topic. Well done man. I especially appreciate the last part where all four scenarios are clearly illustrated. Thank you. You have a new subscriber.
Wow, thanks!
@@2MC Agreed. I just watched theirs before this one, and now I will be showing this video to my class. Thank you!
Thanks Iâm in my chemistry class right now and we were told to scan a qr code and this was the video
That is awesome!!! Thanks for sharing and thank your teacher for the support đ
no way. iâm in chemistry class rn and we scanned a QR code and this was the videođ€Ż
Wow .. I've been trying to learn this concept for over a year and you just made me understand it in minutes
Its amazing how I have a clear concept just by watching a 2 minute video! Thankyou!
Watched 8 min video .. I didn't get anything .. but ur video is just 2 min and u delivered everything ... RESPECT 100+
This video was made in 2017 and he's still replying to comments in 2021. Mad respect and thanks
I try to keep up, haha.
Very well put together, informative, and quick video. Much Appreciated!! Subscribed!!
Thanks for the sub! My goal is to create well put together, informative, and quick videos.
ABSOLUTE LIFESAVER! Explained better than my science teacherâ€ïž keep up the good work!đ
I have struggled to understand this in class but i wasn't expect that I will understand yours more clearly, thank you, Mr.!
You're welcome.
Came here from that confusing video from TEDed. Your explanation is a lot easier to understand. Thanks
TQ for the short & simple to understand video.
I'm having an exam tomorrow, This helped me finally understand Accuracy and Precision.
Gotta go continue my studies-!
Excellent, I hope your exam went well.
@@2MC It did!
This video saved my butt! My teacher just has a way of making things more complicated. Glad I found this video.
Very nice video! It is short and easy to understand. Thank you for this!
