.P10—Accuracy and precision

Consider the accuracy and precision of data.

Use .p10—accuracy and precision to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because .p10—accuracy and precision determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply .p10—accuracy and precision to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: .P10—Accuracy and precision is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
