Answer:

Accuracy

Step-by-step explanation:

In science, accuracy describes closeness to the actual value, rather than precision, which describes closeness to your own experimental values.

In mathematics, deviation best describes variation from the actual value to the observed value.

I would assume you're looking for the first answer.
