It is the closeness of the experimental value to the true value.

• Accuracy

• Precision

• Accurate

• Precise

It is the closeness of measurement from one another.

• Validity
• Reliability
• Accuracy
• Precision

If you conduct an experiment multiple times and get the same result each time, but the result is far from the accepted value, your measurements are:

• Accurate but not precise

• Precise but not accurate

• Both accurate and precise

• Neither accurate nor precise
