Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Particles And Purification (Section 1 - No. 9)

What is the difference between accuracy and precision?
Accuracy measures how close the result is to the true value, while precision measures the repeatability of a measurement.
Accuracy measures the range of the results, while precision measures the deviation of the results from the true value.
Accuracy and precision are the same.
Precision measures how close the result is to the true value, while accuracy measures the repeatability of a measurement.

Explanation

Accuracy indicates how close a measurement is to the actual value, whereas precision describes the consistency of a series of measurements.
