- Objective
- 6.5.6
- Level
- A2
Use the terms precision, accuracy and sensitivity appropriately.
Use - precision, accuracy and sensitivity to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.
This matters because - precision, accuracy and sensitivity determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.
Example: apply - precision, accuracy and sensitivity to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.
Boundary: - Precision, accuracy and sensitivity is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
