if i have

Question

k = 36.86 +/- 4.78
and
v = 113 +/- 9.92
both using 95% confidence limits and no true values of k or v given
am i right in saying that accuracy cannot be determined
and that v is a more precise measurement

my question was to comment on what can be said about
the precision
the accuracy
and which is measured more precisely

thanks

Answer 1

The confidence limits use the mean and the standard deviation (mean ± 1.96 SD for 95% confidence interval)). The less variable the confidence limits (lower SD), the more accurate/precise the estimate is.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

i know that the standard deviation and confidence limits are lower numerically for K
but proportionally as a percentage of the mean they are lower for V

i think this means that v is more accurate

i want to know if im correct in saying this
