Difference between accuracy and pression

Question

Accepted Answer

Accuracy refers to how close a measured value is to the true value, while precision refers to how close the measured values are to each other.

Accuracy is the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.
Precision is the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.
Accuracy can be affected by systematic errors, while precision can be affected by random errors.
For example, hitting the bullseye on a target consistently would be high accuracy and high precision.
If a clock consistently shows the wrong time but always the same amount off, it would be high precision but low accuracy.
