What is the difference between precision and accuracy?

• Precision refers to how close the measurements are to each other, while accuracy refers to how close the measurements are to the true value.

• Precision and accuracy both refer to how close the measurements are to the true value.

• Precision refers to the correctness of a measurement, while accuracy refers to the consistency of measurements.

• Precision and accuracy are the same and can be used interchangeably.
