# The extent to which a given measurement agrees with the standard value for that measurement is known as :

Accuracy

##### SOLUTION
Accuracy is defined as the extent upto which a given measurement agrees with the standard value for that measurement.
For example : Actual weight of the given substance is $10.0 \ kg$ and the measured value of the mass is $9.9 \ kg$. This measurement is said to be accurate.
