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.

accuracy
The data point is close to the expected value.
i think correlatioin is a nonresistant measure because if you take out outliers than only the data that's close together is there...this will increase the correlation closer to -1 or 1, depending on the slope
The chi-squared test is used to compare the observed results with the expected results. If expected and observed values are equal then chi-squared will be equal to zero. If chi-squared is equal to zero or very small, then the expected and observed values are close. Calculating the chi-squared value allows one to determine if there is a statistical significance between the observed and expected values. The formula for chi-squared is: X^2 = sum((observed - expected)^2 / expected) Using the degrees of freedom, use a table to determine the critical value. If X^2 > critical value, then there is a statistically significant difference between the observed and expected values. If X^2 < critical value, there there is no statistically significant difference between the observed and expected values.
The standard deviation for a set of data is a measure of how much the individual observations are spread about their mean. A small value indicates that they are all tightly packed around the mean value whereas a large value indicates that the observations are not so close together.

In term of Science : Accuracy is how close a numerical measure is to its actual value. In term of mathematics : the number of significant figures given in a number
This is termed the accuracy of the measurement.
Precision is how close your measurements are. Accuracy is how close your measurements are to the actual measurement.
Refers to how close a measurement is to the true or actual value.
Accuracy
Accuracy. How close you are to your expected value. Precision. How close together you values are.
This is termed the accuracy of the measurement.
Accuracy is how close you are to your expected value and precision is how close together your experimental values are.
