Answer:

The closeness of a measure value to the accepted value is called its accuracy.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two things in physics you have to be conversant with. That's precision and accuracy. Precision is the closeness of a set of values obtained in identical measurements. e.g titre values: 15.10, 15.05, 14.95, 15.00 (cm3). The values are so close to each other and are said to be precise. But measurements of 5.25g, 5.30g, 4.90g, 6.00g are not precise.

Accuracy is the closeness of a single value to the true value. If the measure value is very close to the true value, we say that the measurement is accurate. A measurement can be precise and not accurate and it might be accurate and precise at the same time.
