In this lesson you looked at examples of where accuracy and precision are found. In order to be accurate in a measurement, a certain degree of precision is required.

 

A real-life example: While playing hockey, a player always hits the right goal post 8 out of 10 shots. The hockey player is precise, but not accurate, since she or he wants to be inside the goal post in order to score a goal.
