[QUOTE="Lionel Boyd Johnson, post: 2741687, member: 110111"] I have to point out that Joe-boy has reversed the meanings or precision and accuracy: [B]Accuracy[/B] and [B]precision[/B] are two measures of observational error. [B]Accuracy[/B] is how close a given set of measurements (observations or readings) are to their true value, while [B]precision[/B] is how close the measurements are to each other. In other words, [B]precision[/B] is a description of random errors, a measure of statistical variability. Therefore, Accuracy is needed to hit the intended target. Precision would properly describe the tightness of grouping the shots, even if away from the intended POI. [/QUOTE]
