Instead of reporting a single number, chemists report a range. A 95% Confidence Interval tells the reader: "I am 95% sure the true value lies between X and Y." This accounts for both the mean and the uncertainty of the measurement. The "outlier" test

Errors that have a definite cause (e.g., an uncalibrated pipette). These affect accuracy —how close you are to the true value. Statistical Methods in Analytical Chemistry (Ch...
