precision and accuracy are defined terms in science.
Accuracy is the closeness of a given result to the true value of a measurement. Precision of a result is represented by the scatter of a number of measurements.
True value is the average of a number of careful measurements by different experimenters, using different measuring systems. (consider the height of a mountain for example.)
Resolution is merely the number of digits in the answer, and of which several may be meaningless.

∙ 13y agoYou could do it by saying that all your measurements were 10 centimetres - irrespective of what they actually were. That would be neither precise nor accurate but it sure would be consistent!
No. A broken clock gives a very precise time, but most of the time it is wrong.

Mathematics can be used to complete precise measurements that can be easily presented and evaluated in mathematical form.
no only if it is precise it is accurate
yes...
There is no more accurate descriptions of matter than measurements. To get the description right make your measurements precise.

The measurement that is accurate is one that is precise. These are also commonly titled accurate measurements in the books.

Flasks are not typically used for accurate measurements as they lack precise volume markings. For accurate measurements, graduated cylinders or volumetric flasks are commonly used due to their precise volume markings.

A container or beaker is commonly used to store and mix liquids, but these do not provide accurate measurements. If precise measurements are needed, a graduated cylinder or volumetric flask should be used instead.
