mõõtevahemikke

Mõõtevahemikke, often translated as measurement intervals or ranges, refers to the span between the minimum and maximum values that a measurement can represent or encompass. In various fields, including science, engineering, and statistics, understanding and defining these intervals is crucial for accurate data collection and interpretation. A measurement interval defines the scope of possible outcomes for a given quantity.

These intervals can be discrete, meaning they consist of distinct, separate values, such as the integer values on a ruler. Alternatively, they can be continuous, allowing for any value within a given range, like temperature readings. The precision of a measurement is directly related to the fineness of its interval; a smaller interval implies greater precision.

In statistics, confidence intervals are a type of measurement interval that provides a range of values within which a population parameter is likely to lie, based on sample data. The width of a confidence interval indicates the uncertainty associated with the estimate. In digital systems, measurement intervals are often determined by the resolution of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) or the number of bits used to represent the measured value. Properly defining and accounting for mõõtevahemikke ensures that measurements are meaningful and can be reliably compared.
