Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Accuracy vs precision.

In the field of science in general, precision is the ability of an instrument to obtain the same result in different measurements, developed under the same conditions. On the other hand for statistics, engineering, or science in general, accuracy is the ability of an instrument to measure a value close to the actual magnitude.

Take a look at the picture I attached you. From left to right:

1. Low accuracy, Low precision

2. High precision, Low accuracy

3. High accuracy, low precision

4. High accuracy, High precision

The ability of a measurement to be reproduced with the same result is a sign of accuracy-example-1
