You have more control of accuracy because you can switch positions or look at it a different way to make your guess, or hit your target.

Define accuracy and precision?
Accuracy and precision are synonyms. They both mean without error, they are exactly right, No more and no less.
How can you measure your height with greater accuracy and precision?
what can measure a soda can
What is meant by precision of the measurement?
Precision of a measurement represents the numerical values which represent the dimensions of the instrument measured more accurately.Precised values are nearer t accuracy with negligible error.
What is more precise meter or decimetre?
Both are units of measure. Neither is more 'precise'. The precision is to do with the accuracy of the measurement taken and not by the units used.
Does greater precision quarantee greater accuracy?
No. Stating more significant figures in a quantity doesn't guarantee that the figures are true.
What is the difference between accuracy and precision and which one is more important to scientific measurement?
To be accurate is to be correct, for example, if you say it will rain tomorrow and it does rain tomorrow, then your prediction was accurate. Precision means to give a finely detailed measurement or observation, rather than an approximation. In the case of the weather prediction, a precise prediction might be on the order of, it will rain a total of 1.68 inches of rain, tomorrow. Such a prediction might or might not be accurate, but if it is, then it is also precise, much more precise than merely predicting that it will rain. Precision includes the concept of accuracy. An observation that is precise but inaccurate is useless; precision is only valuable when it is also accurate. Scientists cannot really choose between accuracy and precision since both are necessary for science to succeed, but accuracy is more fundamental. Something that is approximately correct is worth more than something that is very detailed, but wrong.
How do accuracy and precision of measurement affect calculated values and percent error?
The more precise your instruments of measurement are, the less percentage of error you will have.
Is precision refers to how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value?
No. accuracy is a measure of how close the measurements are to the true value.
What is concerned with the reproducibility of measurements?
The term repeatability is usd for an experiment realized by a single person.Reproductibility is used for an experiment realized by two or more persons.
Explain the illustration of precision and accuracy?
Precision is a measure of how much tolerance your observation has. If you measure time in an experiment as 1.7 +/- .3 seconds, then you are saying that the obervation is anywhere from 1.4 seconds to 2.0 seconds. On the other hand, if you say 1.70 +/- .05 seconds, you state a range of 1.65 seconds to 1.75 seconds. The second observation is more precise than the first. Accuracy is a measure of how correct a measurement is as compared with a standard. If the instrument that measured 1.7 seconds was actually 1.6 seconds, then it would have an accuracy error of .1 seconds. Precision is related to random error. Accuracy is related to systematic error.
When precision increases does uncertainty increase or decrease?
I would assume that with am increase in precision there would be an increase in accuracy and less variables. Therefore I would say that there would be a decrease in uncertainty. The more attention to detail the less chance for mistakes.
What does the precusion mode do in Guitar Hero 3?
Precision Mode lessens the timeframe in which a note can be successfully hit, requiring more accuracy. Conversely, Easy Expert mode expands the timeframe in which a note can be successfully hit, requiring less accuracy.
