Accuracy O Accuracy – how closely a measurement agrees with an accepted value. O For example: O The accepted density of zinc is 7. 14 g/cm 3 O Student A measures the density as 5. 19 g/cm 3 O Student B measures the density as 7. 01 g/cm 3 O Student C measures the density as 8. 85 g/cm 3 O Which student is most accurate?

Error O Error = experimental value – accepted value O Experimental value is obtained through experimentation OAccepted values is the known value O All measurements have some error O Scientists attempt to reduce error by taking the same measurement many times (trials)
