·      This picture represents accuracy. On my math homework we are graded for the accuracy of each answer. Accuracy is when you get the correct answer. It’s getting to the number that you’re supposed to, or how close you are to the target given. Accuracy is when something is free from error. During the first unit of physics we talked about the difference between accuracy and precision. Precision is when you get the same value multiple times, or when your numbers are gathered closely.  For example the precision of an experiment is the measure of the reliability of the experiment, or how reproducible the experiment is. The accuracy of an experiment is the measure of how closely the experimental results agree with a true value or the targeted value.

  1. I like how you used your math homework to represent accuracy and precision.
