Answer:

Accuracy is how close a measurement is to the true value. Precision is how repeatable a measurement is.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, if you are throwing darts at a "bullseye" for accuracy you're hitting the bulleyes but in different spots" Unlike precision let's say you are throwing darts and all of those darts that you're throwing are hitting the third ring in the same spot, that would be precision.
