D.) how close a measured number is to the true value

Step-by-step explanation:

A measurement is accurate when it is very close to the real value. For example, when the temperature of an object is known and when it is measured, the measurement is close to the already known value. So when we measure something and this property is fulfilled, we can say that we have accuracy in the measurement.

The answer is A) How close a measured number is to other measured numbers. Hope i helped! Good luck!

I believe the correct response is B.
$Scientists take scientific measurements carefully in order to ensure their reliability and validity.$

"Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true value of what is being measured. Precision refers to how close measurements of the same quantity are to each other, even if they are not close to the true value."

The right answer is b. Accuracy is how close a measured value is to its true value, while precision is how close measured values are to each other.

Think about the Shot grouping. You need to get that projectiles impact the target from multiple shots shots taken in one session. In this way, if you want to win, you need to be accurate and precise. In the Figure below is represented four different ways in this sport.

D. accuracy and precision are two different words for the same thing.
