Working Scientificly Flashcards
Accuracy?
How close the measurment is to the true value
Precision?
The closenes of your results
Fair test?
Where the onky thing effecting your dependent variable is your independent variable
Repeatibility?
If someone else did your experiment would theu get the same results/similar results
Reprodicibility?
someone else did your experiment would theu get the same results/similar results
Validity?
How useful your evidence is to the answer of the question
Resolution?
The smallest perseptable measurment
Independent variable?
The variable you change
Dependent variable?
The variable you measure
Controled variable?
Any variables which you keep the smae throught the experiment to keep it a fair test
Continueus variable?
Data that could have a value anywhere between 2 extremes
Catagoric variable?
Values that are lables
Eg - the type of metal used
Uncertianty?
The intival within the true value lies
Normally shown in graphs
Measurment error?
The difference between measured value and it’s true value
Random error?
Measurment error die to an unprictable variation from one reading to the next
