 Accuracy of a measuring instrument is expressed as


1. True value-measured value
2. Measured value-true value
3. \(1~-~\left | \frac{true~value~-~measured~value}{true~value} \right |\)
4. \(1~+~\left | \frac{true~value~-~measured~value}{true~value} \right |\)

Correct Answer - Option 3 : \(1~-~\left | \frac{true~value~-~measured~value}{true~value} \right |\)

Explanation:

Accuracy:

​The degree of closeness to the exact value is the accuracy of measurement or approximation. 

Error:

The difference between the measurement and the exact value is the error.

The accuracy of the measurement can be expressed in terms of the error rate as follows:
Accuracy = 1 - error rate

∴ \({Accuracy~=~1~-~\left | \frac{true~value~-~measured~value}{true~value} \right |}\)

Resolution of an instrument is the smallest increment an instrument can detect and display i.e. hundredths, thousandths, millionths.

The range is the upper and lower limits an instrument can measure a value during the measurement.

The precision of an instrument is the degree of repeatability i.e. how reliably it can reproduce the same measurement over and over.​
