The term "precise" refers to the range of measurement to which a value is calculated. The term "accurate" implies that the measurement value is essentially correct, to within some range of error.

However, the terms are often used synonymously, since "precise" has the desired quality of being exact, which in some cases is a separate concept from accuracy.
