What is accuracy?
Precision -- the degree to which the result of a measurement, calculation, or specification conforms to the correct value or a standard
What is when measurements are close to the accepted value?
The term is accuracy
What is the difference with precision and accuracy?
Accuracy refers to how close a measured value is to an excepted value. Precision refers to how close a series of measurements are to one another For example, if your experimental value is 15.63 and your values are... 12.84 13.02 12.96 They would be precise because they are close to one another but not accurate because they're not even close to the experimental value
How close a measurement is to the true or accepted value is called?
This is the accuracy of a value.
what is the difference between accuracy and precision?
''Accuracy is the degree of closeness to true value. Precision is the degree to which an instrument or process will repeat the same value. In other words, accuracy is the degree of veracity while precision is the degree of reproducibility.

Is precision refers to how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value?
No. accuracy is a measure of how close the measurements are to the true value.
How can a measurement be accurate but not precise?
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.

Do experimental measurements give the true value of physical quantity?
No because there are always experimental errors, instrument limitations, and deviations in measurements. This is called the uncertainty. Experimental values do not give true values but rather a value with an uncertainty.
Is accuracy a measure of how close an answer is to the actual or expected value?
Precision and accuracy are two ways that scientists think about error. Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value. Precision refers to how close measurements of the same item are to each other. Precision is independent of accuracy.
What word means a number that is close to the exact value is called an?
Estimate
The ability to make a measurement that is as close to an actual value is called a...?
The closeness to the actual value is called the accuracy. The reproducibility of the measurement is call the precision.
