Is a refers to how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value?
Accuracy.
The ability to make a measurement that is as close to an actual value is called a...?
The closeness to the actual value is called the accuracy. The reproducibility of the measurement is call the precision.
What does accuracy mean in science terms?
In a scientific measurement, accuracy refers to the closeness of your measurement to the 'true value'. The true value is the result to which a large number of independent experiments, carefully conducted, tends.
What is the difference between accuracy and sensitivity?
The answers to this question are not exact, but are real and proper.The True Value of a measurement is the value to which a large number of observations; by different observers and different methods; tend.Accuracy is the closeness to which this measurement comes to the true value.Sensitivity of measurement is the finest discrimination it can measure. But sensitive measurements are often 'noisy' = erratic.Resolution is the number of digits in the result. Often quite a spurious representation of the True Value, and often mistaken for accuracy.Consider for example the height of Mt Everest. Or your own weight.The ASTM (in USA) and the various Standards Organizations will have very similar definitions.
How does accuracy differ from precision a scientific measurement?
Accuracy is the tendency for a measurement to be correct. A more accurate measurement will be closer to the true value than a less accurate measurement. Precision is the tendency to come to the same measurement under the same conditions on multiple occasions. A precise measurement may not be accurate, but can be reproduced time after time and give the same (or sImilar) result.

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.
