Precision is expressed in terms of the standard deviation. Comparison of replicate values is best expressed as the relative percent difference (RPD). Various measures of precision exist depending upon the “prescribed similar conditions”. ACCURACY - The degree of agreement of a measurement (or an average of replicate measurements), X, with an accepted reference or true value, T, expressed as the difference between the two values, X-T. Accuracy is a measure of the bias in a system. REPRESENTATIVENESS - Expresses the degree to which data accurately precisely represent a characteristic of a population, parameter variations sampling point, a process condition, or an environmental concern. COMPLETENESS - A measure measurement system compared conditions. of the amount to the amount COMPARABILITY - Expresses compared with another. the confidence UNCERTAINTY decision. - The likelihood of the valid data obtained that was expected under with which one data of all types of errors associated 5-3 and at a from the “normal” set can be with a particular The Project Manager, in conjunction with the Navy Engineer-in-Charge for defining the DQOs.
