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).

Which is less precise between 2.8 mm or 3.79 mm?
The first one.
A clock that is set five minutes fast is less precise than an identical clock that keeps correct time.?
No. Consider shooting at a target. If you group all your shots in a very small area in the outermost part of the target you are more precise than if you had grouped them more loosely within the bull's eye and inner circle. You would be less accurate, though. Precision is not the same as accuracy.
Which trigonometric functions always have values less than 1?
The sine and the cosine are always less than one.
What is 151cm in feet and inches?
4 feet and 11" inches and 5/16 of an inch to be more or less precise
Did Pythagoras prove his own Theorem?
Yes, he must have proved his own Theorem otherwise it would not have been adopted by mathematicians across the globe. I'm sure you could test out the theorem: check whether c2 really does equal b2 + a2 in a manual measurement of a triangle; though this is less accurate and not as precise as the Theorem.
Which is most accurate burette beaker measuring cylinder and volumetric flask?
The most accurate of these instruments is the volumetric flask, as it is typically calibrated to contain a specific volume at a specific temperature. Burettes can also be very precise when reading volumes of liquids being dispensed. Measuring cylinders are less precise than burettes and volumetric flasks. Beakers are the least accurate for measuring precise volumes due to their lack of a precise scale.
Is 6.0 greater than or less than to 6.00?
In the context of numerical values, 6.00 is greater than 6.0. The additional zero in 6.00 signifies that the number is more precise, as it indicates that the value is accurate to two decimal places. In comparison, 6.0 is less precise and implies that the value is accurate to only one decimal place.
What is Precise Value?
Precise value refers to an exact measurement or quantity without any ambiguity or rounding. It provides an accurate representation of the value being measured, ensuring that calculations or comparisons are as accurate as possible. This is often important in fields such as science, engineering, and finance where precision is essential.
What is the difference between an error as a percentage of full scale or an error as a percentage of reading?
Error as a percentage of full scale is established by multiplying the error percentage by the full scale flow. The less you flow through the device the less accurate the reading will be. For that reason, you don't want to get a larger device than you need. Devices with error expressed as a percentage of full scale are most accurate when flowing at full scale.Error expressed as a percentage of reading expresses error as a percentage of what the device is actually flowing. Simply, if a instrument's accuracy is rated to +/-1% of reading an instrument will be accurate to +/-1% of whatever the instrument is flowing. At 100SLPM the instrument will be accurate to within +/-1SLPM, and at 10SLPM of flow the unit will be accurate to within +/-.1SLPM.
Which is more precise liters or milliliters?
cups is less precise.
Why significant figures represent the precision of a measurement and not its accuracy.?
A measurement that has a larger number of significant figures has a greater reproducibility, or precision because it has a smaller source of error in the estimated digit. A value with a greater number of significant figures is not necessarily more accurate than a measured value with less significant figures, only more precise. For example, a measured value of 1.5422 m was obtained using a more precise measuring tool, while a value of 1.2 m was obtained using a less precise measuring tool. If the actual value of the measured object was 1.19 m, the measurement obtained from the less precise measuring tool would be more accurate.
Which is less precise between 2.8 mm or 3.79 mm?
The first one.
What does the precision of an instrument determine?
The precision of an instrument refers to its ability to provide consistent and repeatable results. A higher precision means that the measurements or readings taken with the instrument will vary less between multiple trials. This helps ensure accurate and reliable data.
Is mzm always less than m2?
MZM represents all money in M2 minus the time deposit and adding in the money market fund. This is more accurate but it is neither always more or less.
How does the Percision of measurements affect the precision of science calculations?
The precision of measurements affects the precision of scientific calculations by influencing the accuracy of the final result. More precise measurements lead to more accurate calculations as there is less uncertainty or variation in the data used for analysis. In contrast, less precise measurements can introduce errors and inaccuracies into the calculations.
Is 44.49 the least precise number?
44.49 is more precise than 44.5 but less precise than 44.491 - The larger a number becomes the more precise it is.
How do you spell acure?
The word sought could be one of these: acute - severe, extreme; an angle less than 90 degrees accrue - collect or amass over time accurate - precise cure - a remedy curate - a cleric or assistant cleric
