Question

Using a more powerful measuring apparatus can increase:

Select the correct answer below:

accuracy

precision

both accuracy and precision

none of the above

Answer 1

Accuracy refers to the closeness of the observed value to the true value.

Precision refers to the reproducibility and repeatedly how close all the measured values are.

Two types of error can occur random error and systematic error

Random error often occurs in cases of reproducibility.

System error occurs because of problems in instrument.

So if we take the more powerful measuring apparatus it will effect the accuracy. It will avoid the systematic errors and give accurate results.
