Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Accuracy indicates how close to the true measurement you actually are.

Let us understand this with an example.

If a rod produced by a manufacturer has a specification of 1 meter length and after measuring it you also get 1 m length then the measurement is highly accurate.

There is another term called precision which is used in the same sense as accuracy called precision but they do not have the same meaning. Precision refers to how close in the measurements you are while taking multiple readings.
