For any point, the abscissa is the first value (x coordinate), and the ordinate is the second value (y coordinate). In mathematics, the abscissa (/ æ b ˈ s ɪ s. ə /; plural abscissae or abscissas) and the ordinate are respectively the first and second coordinate of a point in a Cartesian coordinate system: [1] [2]
The Keynesian cross diagram includes an identity line to show states in which aggregate demand equals output. In a 2-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, with x representing the abscissa and y the ordinate, the identity line [1] [2] or line of equality [3] is the y = x line. The line, sometimes called the 1:1 line, has a slope of 1. [4]
In statistics, the 68–95–99.7 rule, also known as the empirical rule, and sometimes abbreviated 3sr, is a shorthand used to remember the percentage of values that lie within an interval estimate in a normal distribution: approximately 68%, 95%, and 99.7% of the values lie within one, two, and three standard deviations of the mean, respectively.
If you consider an experimenter taking a reading of the time period of a pendulum swinging past a fiducial marker: If their stop-watch or timer starts with 1 second on the clock then all of their results will be off by 1 second (zero error).

Time series of the Tent map for the parameter m=2.0 which shows numerical error: "the plot of time series (plot of x variable with respect to number of iterations) stops fluctuating and no values are observed after n=50". Parameter m= 2.0, initial point is random.

In computing, a roundoff error, [1] also called rounding error, [2] is the difference between the result produced by a given algorithm using exact arithmetic and the result produced by the same algorithm using finite-precision, rounded arithmetic. [3]
