2. Accuracy and precision - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_and_precision

   According to ISO 5725-1, accuracy consists of trueness (proximity of the mean of measurement results to the true value) and precision (repeatability or reproducibility of the measurement). While precision is a description of random errors (a measure of statistical variability ), accuracy has two different definitions:

3. Significant figures - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures

   Hoping to reflect the way in which the term "accuracy" is actually used in the scientific community, there is a recent standard, ISO 5725, which keeps the same definition of precision but defines the term "trueness" as the closeness of a given measurement to its true value and uses the term "accuracy" as the combination of trueness and ...

4. Metrology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrology

   Metrology is a wide reaching field, but can be summarized through three basic activities: the definition of internationally accepted units of measurement, the realisation of these units of measurement in practice, and the application of chains of traceability (linking measurements to reference standards).

5. Precision bias - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_bias

   More particularly, in assessing the merits of an argument, a measurement, or a report, an observer or assessor falls prey to precision bias when they believe that greater precision implies greater accuracy (i.e., that simply because a statement is precise, it is also true); the observer or assessor are said to provide false precision.

9. Precision (statistics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_(statistics)

   The term precision in this sense ("mensura praecisionis observationum") first appeared in the works of Gauss (1809) "Theoria motus corporum coelestium in sectionibus conicis solem ambientium" (page 212). Gauss's definition differs from the modern one by a factor of .
