Precision: how close measurements are to each other
Accuracy: how close measurements are to the "true" or accepted value.
If you do 3 trials of an experiment and you get 1.00 grams, 1.01 grams, and 1.03 grams as your answers but the real value was supposed to be close to 6.79 grams, your data was precise but not accurate.
What else can I help you with?
What measurement is more precise and accurate?
What determines how precise a measurement is
A measurement that is accurate is one that?
The measurement that is accurate is one that is precise. These are also commonly titled accurate measurements in the books.
Is less precise instrument always more accurate?
No. Accurate relates to how close the actual measurement the instrument measures. Precise relates to how much detail the instrument gives when measuring. They are independent to each other: An measurement can be precise and accurate (eg the value of π is 3.141592654) An measurement can be precise and inaccurate (eg the value of π is 1.733677432) An measurement can be less precise and accurate (eg the value of π is 3.14) An measurement can be less precise and inaccurate (eg the value of π is 1.73).
Is a accurate measurement automatically precise?
An automatically measurement has a higher precision than a manually measurement.
How does one know if measurement is precise or accurate?

Which measurement is more precise 57 57.2 57.21 or 57.213?
The measurement 57.213 is the most precise because it has the most decimal places, indicating a higher level of accuracy than the other measurements provided.
Can a measurement be precise without being accurate?
Yes, a measurement can be precise without being accurate. Precision refers to how close repeated measurements are to each other, while accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true value. It is possible for measurements to be consistently close to each other (precise) but consistently off from the true value (inaccurate).
What is an specific and precise measurement called?
Synonyms of "specific" and "precise" include accurate, detailed, explicit, stringent or rigorous. A precise measurement is one made with well-maintained equipment and using the correct methods in a careful manner.
