Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallax is the effect caused when there is an error in observing a reading. This is caused due to the variation of line of sight of the observer.

Precision refers to the variability of the readings being taken. If the readings are close to one another then the readings are precise and if the readings are not close to one another then the readings are not precise.

Parallax may cause the readings not to close therefore affecting the precision.

Yes, parallax affects the precision of a measurement that you make. It introduces an error in the order of the parallax. It will cause the measurement to be different from the real answer. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
