practice" as an analogy. Table Accuracy, Precision, and Resolution (p. 533) shows
four targets. The bull's eye on each target represents the absolute correct
measurement. Each shot represents an attempt to make the measurement. The
diameter of the projectile represents resolution. The objective of a data-
acquisition system should be high accuracy, high precision, and to produce data
with resolution as high as appropriate for a given application.
