I took a picture of my grandpa's dart board because we learned about precision and accuracy. A dart board is a great way to learning what the difference between precision and accuracy. Precision is the consistency of measurements. Accuracy is the closeness of a measurement to the actual value. On a dart board, precision (with low accuracy) would look like a cluster of darts on a value, but not near the bulls eye (target). Accuracy (with low precision) on a dart board would be out of five darts, one or two darts on the bulls eye and the rest scattered near the bulls eye. Precision and accuracy on a dart board would be all five darts on the target clustered together. Precision and accuracy are different from each other.
Jantzen, I really like you're picture. It's a great representation of accuracy and precision and it's great quality. It's good how you defined accuracy and precision and then you gave a few examples on low accuracy and low precision. Also good how you gave examples on precision and accuracy and said how precision and accuracy and are different. You did a great job of fitting so much information in a good sized paragraph.
ReplyDeleteVery good explanation on precision and accuracy. I think you put it into words i can better understand now! Thanks a lot Jantzen. Also nice picture of the dartboard.
