Answer:
You can be very precise but inaccurate, as described above. You can also be accurate but imprecise. For example, if on average, your measurements for a given substance are close to the known value, but the measurements are far from each other, then you have accuracy without precision.

Yes because precision and accuracy are not interconnected. Precision is the closeness to various measurements for same quantity while accuracy is the closeness to the true value
