Q: The degree of closeness to the true value is called :
  • A. range
  • B. precision
  • C. error
  • D. accuracy
Correct Answer: Option D - Accuracy– Accuracy may be defined as the degree of closeness of the measured value of certain dimension with the true value. The difference between these two values is known as the errors of measurement. Precision– This term is used to define how accurate is the direct measured dimension as we take single or a group of identical dimensions that confirms the accuracy of dimension taken by single measurement.
