Precision is a defined as how consistent you are with results, but not necessarily how close to the true value you are. For example in Archery if you are shooting for the centre but get 3 arrows next to each other in the outer most ring that is precise but not at all accurate.

Therefore accuracy is how close to the true value/ value you want that you are. Again same example in archery, this time aiming for the centre and you get 1 in the centre and 2 in the ring next to it they would then be accurate (and possibly precise depending on how close to each other they are)
