1: Differentiate between accuracy and precision:

What is accuracy?

Accuracy measures how close the result is to the actual value you were trying to achieve. In other
words, it’s how closely you hit what you’re aiming for. Whether that’s a strategic goal or a personal win,
high accuracy is when you land directly on your target value. Low accuracy is when you’re way off the
mark. You can determine accuracy after a single event, although repeatability will be critical to
determining if this can be maintained as a long-term success.

Let’s look at an example. You’ve set a KPI to reduce your site’s bounce rate by 12% in this upcoming
fiscal year. If your accurate measurement shows that you hit your accepted value—exactly 12% by the
end of your fiscal year—you’ve achieved 100% accuracy in setting and hitting your target KPI.

What is precision?

Precision measures how close your results are to one another. While accuracy can be used in one
instance, precision will be measured over time. This is because precision requires repeatability to
determine the degree of closeness between each set of measurements. High precision is when your
results are similar to each other, while low precision is when they’re all over the map. Measuring
precision is helpful in two scenarios:

When you’re trying to avoid making the same mistake

When you’re achieving successful results and want to establish a process for reproducibility

Using the above example, let’s say all your pages' bounce rates were reduced by the same percentage.
So every page on your site had a bounce rate move down by the same number, whether that’s 6% or
20%. This is highly precise, even though it’s not accurate.

To know if you are accurate or precise, you’ll need to track and measure your results. Accuracy and
precision are measured differently:

Accuracy measurement: How your result compares to the target value. The closer you are, the more
accurate you are. To determine accuracy, you need to have clearly defined goals or success
metrics you’re trying to reach.

Precision measurement: How close measurements are to each other. To review for precision, you’ll
need to develop a tracking system that shows how multiple results or data points compare to each other
over time.
No.2:Differentiate between a map an a plan.

What is a map?

A map is a topographic depiction of numerous components, such as location, locations, and regions. All
of the information displayed on maps is visible on-site. The map represents a study of the entire area. It
provides information on critical places. A MAP is a graphic depiction of a location. It may also be
described as a symbolic representation that emphasizes interactions between aspects of that
environment such as items, locations, and themes. There is a great deal of information on the map. It
just depicts the most essential aspects of the area.

What is a plan?

The plan is a three-dimensional depiction of a location, area, structure, or building that includes
numerous specific information. It also incorporates illustrations and secret data. It provides extensive
information in the symbolic form regarding tiny regions. PLAN is a collection of two-dimensional
schematics or drawings that are intended to describe a location or an item or to communicate building
or manufacturing instructions. Details are provided in the form of symbols in the plan. As a result, it may
display both length and width.

Difference Between A Map And A Plan

Map

*A map is a depiction or sketch of the earth’s surface or a portion of it rendered on a flat surface to scale

*Maps provide a detailed depiction of a larger section of the globe

*The plan is termed a map if the size of the graphical depiction on a horizontal plane is modest

For a small-scale reference, the map is created

*Vertical distances like elevations are also indicated on a topographic map by contour lines

*A map is created for big areas like the Map of the Region

Plan

*A plan, on a wide scale, is a depiction of a small territory

*A plan gives little information on a specific local region

*A plan is a graphical depiction, to some size, of features on, behind, or under the earth’s surface as
projected on a horizontal plane
For a large-scale, a plan is created

*Horizontal distances and directions are often depicted on a plan

*A plan created is usually for a small area like a House plan, bridge plan, school plan

No.3: How do you determine the accuracy attained when you carry out linear measurements

*Collect as multiple measurements of the lengths required

*Find the average value of your measurements

*Find the absolute value of the difference of each measurement from the average

*Determine the average of all the deviation by adding them up and dividing by the number of
measurements
