Accuracy
• It is the closeness with which an instrument reading
approaches the true value of the variable being measured.
AEI 305. 5 to 6 3
Precision
AEI 305. 5 to 6 4
Characteristics
• Repeatability.
• Factor that cause random or accidental error.
AEI 305. 5 to 6 5
Accuracy Vs Precision
• Accuracy represents the degree of closeness of the
measured value with respect to the true value.

Example 1:
• The person hits all the bullets on the target plate on the
outer circle and misses the bull’s eye

Linearity
Definition
AEI 305. 5 to 6 11
Linearity characteristics
AEI 305. 5 to 6 12
Equation :
Linearity can be expressed by the equation
y = m x +c
where y = output
x = input
m = slope
c = intercept
