Precision
is how closely repeated measurements
agree with each other. Precision is usually
expressed as standard deviation (SD).
Accuracy
is defined as the nearness of a test result
to the true value.
Although good precision suggests good accuracy,
precise results can be inaccurate. The figure
explains these definitions.
In a laboratory using a standard solution of
1.50 mg/L Iron and a representative lot of
reagent, an operator obtained with a single
instrument a standard deviation of 0.10 mg/L.
Range
0.00 to 5.00 mg/L
Resolution
0.01 mg/L
Accuracy
@25 °C (77 °F)
±0.04 mg/L ±2% of reading
