Answer:
In other words, accuracy describes the difference between the measurement and the part's actual value, while precision describes the variation you see when you measure the same part repeatedly with the same device.
Step-by-step explanation:
*Accuracy is how close a value is to its true value. An example is how close an arrow gets to the bull's-eye center.
*Precision is how repeatable a measurement is. An example is how close a second arrow is to the first one (regardless of whether either is near the mark).
*Percent error is used to assess whether a measurement is sufficiently accurate and precise.
You can think of accuracy and precision in terms of hitting a bull's-eye. Accurately hitting the target means you are close to the center of the target, even if all the marks are on different sides of the center. Precisely hitting a target means all the hits are closely spaced, even if they are very far from the center of the target. Measurements that are both precise and accurate are repeatable and very near true values.
