Assessment of Accuracy and Precision

Abstract

Volumetric glassware, mechanical pipettes, and balances are used in many analytical laboratories. If the basic skills in the use of this glassware and equipment are mastered, laboratory exercises are easier, more enjoyable, and the results obtained are more accurate and precise. Measures of accuracy and precision can be calculated based on the data generated, given the glassware and equipment used, to evaluate the skill of the user as well as the reliability of the instrument and glassware.
