Question

What's the difference between accuracy and precision? Pls give an example

Answer 1

Precision refers to the closeness of two or more measurements to each other. ... 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.

Answer 2

Accuracy is ‘the state of being correct’, precision is ‘the state of being exact’.Accuracy symbolizes the extent of conformity, whereas Precision indicates the extent of reproducibility.

Accuracy is how close a value is to its true value. An example would be how close an arrow gets to the bullseye center.

Precision is how repeatable a measurement is. An example would be how close a second arrow is to the first one
