TL;DR Summary
Could someone post a single graph ( adding some more details in first graph about accuracy precision and Trueness) of probability distribution in which all the parameters of measurement like Random error, Systematic error, Total error, Uncertainity, Accuracy, Precision and Trueness are described? It would also be fine if you upload a photo a hand-drawn graph in copy rather than a printed one.
I am new to statistics and recently learned about ISO guidelines for Accuracy & Precision and Uncertainty & Error. But there are some graphs of probability distribution I found on internet which I am not able to grasp.

Q. In this graph(above) if systematic error is zero then average value will be the true value! How's that possible? i.e. if we take measurements under a condition of zero systematic error , average of whatever we measured will be equal to true value but aren't there some random error in average of measurement? And why random error here is described with respect to measured value not to mean of measured value?

In first graph total and random errors are described wrt measured value not to mean of measurements and here in 2nd graph accuracy and precision are related to mean of measurement, no concept of measured value.

I will not make a graph that tries to answer all possible questions that you may have, but I am willing to try to answer specific questions.
The "average" that you are talking about in the graph is the population average of the distribution -- the distribution mean. That is as though you had the average of an infinite sample. Any finite sample that you take an average of will not give you the exact average shown in the graph.

Is this graph(below) I have made correct according to ISO definations? ( links of definations are provided in question)

Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'
The following is more or less taken from page 6 of C. Smorynski's "Self-Reference and Modal Logic". (Springer, 1985) (I couldn't get raised brackets to indicate codification (Gödel numbering), so I use a box. The overline is assigning a name. The detail I would like clarification on is in the second step in the last line, where we have an m-overlined, and we substitute the expression for m. Are we saying that the name of a coded term is the same as the coded term? Thanks in advance.
