Schematic representation of the different types of precision. The blue distribution shows the smallest random variability (repeatability) for replicate measurements of the same quantity. The green distribution shows the largest variability (reproducibility). The variability corresponding to intermediate precision lies between the blue and the green curves. The average of random errors is zero
