~~==Key Stage 5==~~

~~===Meaning===~~

~~[[Results]] are [[precise]] if the same [[reading]] or [[measurement]] [[repeat]]edly gives a similar value.~~

~~===About Precision===~~

: A single [[reading]] may be more [[precise]] if the [[resolution]] of the [[Measuring Instrument|measuring instrument]] is higher. This is due to the upper and lower bounds of a single number being smaller when the number has a greater [[resolution]]. A [[ruler]] that [[measure]]s to the nearest 1cm has an [[uncertainty]] of ±5mm for each [[reading]]. A [[ruler]] that [[measure]]s to the nearest 1mm has an [[uncertainty]] of ±0.5mm, making a single [[reading]] more [[precise]].
