hibahatáron

Hibahatáron is a Hungarian term that translates to "error margin" or "tolerance" in English. It is commonly used in various fields, including science, engineering, manufacturing, and statistics, to denote the acceptable deviation from a specified value or standard. In scientific experiments or measurements, a hibahatáron indicates the range within which a result is considered valid due to inherent uncertainties. For instance, if a device is supposed to measure a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius and has a hibahatáron of +/- 2 degrees, then any reading between 98 and 102 degrees would be acceptable.

In engineering and manufacturing, the hibahatáron defines the permissible variation in the dimensions or properties of a manufactured part. This ensures that components will fit together and function correctly, even if they are not perfectly identical. A certain degree of tolerance is necessary because achieving absolute precision is often impossible or prohibitively expensive. Similarly, in statistics, hibahatáron is related to concepts like confidence intervals, which express the range of values within which a population parameter is likely to lie, based on sample data. Understanding and defining the hibahatáron is crucial for quality control, reliability, and the accurate interpretation of data.
