- Precision provides an indication of the quality of data but does not provide an indication of the accuracy of data. Yes/No
- High precision does not indicate high accuracy. High accuracy data does not indicate high precision. Yes/No
- Absolute accuracy requires measured data to be referenced in terms of known or existing data. Yes/No

case where data has been collected as a completely self-contained survey. Yes/No
