[Year 12 SofDev] Data Integrity: different between accuracy and correctness

Hi all,
I have spoken about accuracy in terms of precision.

I could say I am about 1.8 metres tall. That is correct, but not accurate.
I could say I am 1.564334 metres tall. That is accurate, but not correct.
Each situation will require a different level of accuracy that is acceptable or expected.
Can't think of a situation where accuracy is important but correctness not.

And I teach them that dates recorded in this format in a file-naming convention is both correct and accurate as the files self-sort by date.
YYYYMMDD

Sorry I did mean the opposite! Big week.

Try again??.
I taught my kids that if you are asked for a date in DD/MM/YYY format in a program then whilst ?1st of September 2016? is accurate, writing 01/09/2016 is correct.

I'd say the opposite.

I don't think this question is ever going to be answered until we have a plebiscite, a Royal Commission or at least a dance-off competition.

I have read Mark's views on this http://vceit.com/wp/correctness-versus-accuracy/

Don't think they helped :-)


I think they are essentially synonymous:
eg my phone number is 0477999111 is both accurate and correct.

Hi all,

As part of the five characteristics of data integrity we have both accuracy and correctness; how do we differentiate the two of these?

Thanks
