What does it mean by understanding?

What is the opposite to understanding?
Opposite of the ability to understand something. ignorance. unfamiliarity. incomprehension. naivete.
How do you explain uncertainty?
Uncertainty as used here means the range of possible values within which the true value of the measurement lies. This definition changes the usage of some other commonly used terms. For example, the term accuracy is often used to mean the difference between a measured result and the actual or true value.
What is the importance of uncertainties?
Essentially, without uncertainties you are not able to compare measurement results “apples to apples”. Uncertainties are important when determining whether or not a part or a substance that you are measuring is within tolerance.
What is risk and uncertainty?
Risk refers to decision-making situations under which all potential outcomes and their likelihood of occurrences are known to the decision-maker, and uncertainty refers to situations under which either the outcomes and/or their probabilities of occurrences are unknown to the decision-maker.
Does uncertainty affect accuracy?
The degree of accuracy and precision of a measuring system are related to the uncertainty in the measurements. The uncertainty in a measurement, A, is often denoted as δA (“delta A”), so the measurement result would be recorded as A ± δA. In our paper example, the length of the paper could be expressed as 11 in. ± 0.2.
How is error related to accuracy?
The accuracy of a measurement or approximation is the degree of closeness to the exact value. The error is the difference between the approximation and the exact value. Sometimes, an error that is acceptable at one step can get multiplied into a larger error by the end.
