Consider the following statements regarding precision in measurements of a quantity: 1. Precision is the measure of the spread of the incident errors. 2. Precision is independent of the realizable correctness of the measurement. 3. Precision is usually described in terms of number of digits used in the measurement by a digital instrument. Which of the above statements are correct? Correct Answer 1, 2 and 3

Precision: The most repeatable value (or) the reproducible value out of the set of records is known as precision. It is the measure of consistency. It gives the closeness of individual measured value to the average of all measured values.

The precision of an instrument does not guarantee accuracy. The precision can be achieved without accuracy. So, it is independent of the realizable correctness of the measurement

An instrument with more significant figures has more precision and hence precision is usually described in terms of number of digits used in the measurement by a digital instrument.

Precision shows how close the measured value is to the true value of the quantity. 2. Instrumental errors and personal errors are the sources of random errors. 3. Random errors are random with respect to the sign and shape of the quantity. 4. Absolute error is the magnitude of difference between individual value and the true value of the quantity Which of the above statements are correct.
Read the following passage and answer the item that follows. Your answers to this item should be based on the passage only. We live in digital times. The digital is not just something we use strategically and specifically to do a few tasks. Our very perception of who we are, how we connect to the world around us, and the ways in which we define our domains of life, labour and language are hugely structured by the digital technologies. The digital is everywhere and, like air, invisible. We live within digital systems, we live with intimate gadgets, we interact through digital media, and the very presence and imagination of the digital has dramatically restructured our lives. The digital, far from being a tool, is a condition and context that defines the shapes and boundaries of our understanding of the self, the society, and the structure of governance. Which among the following is the most logical and essential message conveyed by the above passage?
Which of the following statements are correct (i) Accuracy is the closeness with which an instrument approaches the true value as the quantity being measured. (ii) Precision is a measure of reproducibility of the measurement. (iii) Precision of an instrument can be improved upon by calibration. (iv) Accuracy may be specified in terms of limiting error.
Consider the following statements for dynamic characteristics of a measurement system: 1. Fidelity is defined as the degree to which a measurement system indicates changes in the measured quantity without any dynamic error. 2. Dynamic error is the difference between the true value of the quantity changing with time and the value indicated by the measurement system if no static error is assumed. 3. Measuring lag is the retardation in the response of a measurement system to changes in the measured quantity. Which of the above statements are correct?
