Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When a measurement is repeatable and consistent it is said to have ____
A
High precision
B
Low precision
C
High accuracy
D
Low accuracy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Definition: Precision is a measurement of the repeatability, or consistency, of a measurement. It is possible to have a very precise measurement without scatter (or noise) that is repeatable and would be considered precise (repeatable), however, it can be inaccurate because of an instrument error.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer is High Precision. Explanation: Accuracy is defined as how close your answer is to the target value however repeated values close to each other, regardless of target value, is defined as precision. So consistent and repeatable is High and precise.

Detailed explanation-3: -Precision includes: repeatability-the variation arising when all efforts are made to keep conditions constant by using the same instrument and operator, and repeating during a short time period; and.

Detailed explanation-4: -The term precision is measured by the number of random errors in a sample set. High precision means that results from the repeated measurement of a known value will be relatively similar results under the same circumstances.

Detailed explanation-5: -Repeatability and reproducibility are two aspects of precision. Describing the minimum variability of precision, repeatability identifies variations that occur when conditions are constant and the same operator uses the same instrument within a short period of time.
