accuracy
Approximation
A yardstick is rigid - a tape measure is flexible.
grams
It is a unit rate.
Absolute value is a measure of distance.

If your question is in economics, try there. If your desired True Value is in measurements, then ASTM and similar folk have useful definitions. The True Value of a measurement is the value to which many individual measurements taken by different methods and different experimenters tend. They go on to define Repeatability as the closeness of repeated measurements using the same apparatus etc. And the Reproducibility is the closeness of results achieved by different measurements with different apparatus.
The closeness of a set of measurements with each other is called precision. Precision refers to the degree to which repeated measurements under unchanged conditions show the same results. It indicates the consistency and reliability of the measurements, regardless of whether they are close to the true value (which relates to accuracy).
accuracy; reliability.
Precision is how close your measurements are. Accuracy is how close your measurements are to the actual measurement.
The closeness of two or more measurements to each other is referred to as precision. Precision indicates the degree to which repeated measurements under unchanged conditions yield the same results. High precision means that the measurements are consistent and closely grouped together, regardless of whether they are close to the true value.
The closeness of a reading or measurement to the actual value of the quantity being measured is referred to as accuracy. Accurate measurements indicate that the results obtained are very close to the true value. High accuracy is essential in various fields, including science and engineering, to ensure reliability and validity in data interpretation. It is distinct from precision, which relates to the consistency of repeated measurements.
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.
No. accuracy is a measure of how close the measurements are to the true value.

Precision
Precision is a measure of how close repeated measurements are to each other. It does not take into account how close the average of those measurements is to the true or accepted value. Accuracy, on the other hand, is a measure of how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value.
