This is termed the accuracy of the measurement.
Accuracy describes how close measurements are to the actual value. It is a measure of how well the results agree with the true value of the quantity being measured.
The closeness to the actual value is called the accuracy. The reproducibility of the measurement is call the precision.
Refers to how close a measurement is to the true or actual value.

An error is the difference between a predicted value and the actual, observed, value. The percent error tells the user how close or how far off one was from the actual value in the form of a percentage.
an error is the difference between a predicted value and the actual value. % errors tell you how close or how far you came to the actual answer is the form of a percentage. Mathematically: [(accepted value-measured value) / accepted lValue] * 100% note: if your answer is negative it means you were, for example, 15% short of the actual answer
A precision resistor is a resistor that has an actual value that is very close (or precise) to its nominal (or stated value). Therefore, precision resistors have a very degree of accuracy of being very close to their nominal values.
Precision refers to the degree of reproducibility or consistency of measurements or results. In statistics and data analysis, it indicates how close the measured values are to each other, rather than to the true value. High precision means that repeated measurements yield similar results, while low precision indicates a wide variability among measurements. It is often used in contrast to accuracy, which measures how close a measurement is to the actual or true value.
Then the measured value is larger than the actual value.
