Here's the difference between accuracy and precision: Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value. It indicates the correctness of a measurement. Precision refers to how close repeated measurements are to each other. It indicates the reproducibility or consistency of a measurement, regardless of whether they are close to the true value. For example, if the true weight of an object is 10 kg: A scale that consistently reads 9.9 kg, 10.0 kg, 10.1 kg is both accurate (close to 10 kg) and precise* (readings are close to each other). A scale that consistently reads 9.0 kg, 9.1 kg, 9.0 kg is precise (readings are close to each other) but inaccurate* (not close to 10 kg). A scale that reads 8.0 kg, 12.0 kg, 10.0 kg is neither accurate nor precise*. That's 2 down. 3 left today — send the next one.
