What is the meaning of 'scientific?

Precision is defined as how close measurements are to each other. Example: 4.3, 4.4, 4.4 are precise because they are close to each other. If the "correct" answer is 4.4, they are also accurate. If the "correct" answer is 4.0, they are not very accurate, but they are still precise.
