Accuracy.
The term accuracy describes how far your observation/measurement is from the correct result. Precision describes how repeatable your results are, regardless of their accuracy..
This is termed the accuracy of the measurement.
I checked my accuracy with a calculator.
No. If you had a very, very accurate clock and you checked the time over and over you would not get the same measurement because the time would have changed!
accuracy; reliability.

Accuracy
Accuracy, precision, repeatability and so on are terms that have been closely defined for measurement purpose. By folk such as ASTM. and ISO.The true value is the value towards which a large number of different measurements (by different measurement teams, using different measuring systems ... ..) tends.The accuracy of a particular method or measurement is how closely that answer comes to the True Value.The precision of a measurement represents the confidence you have in the measurement. (Generally by making several measurements.)The resolution of a measurement is merely the number of figures in your answer. A number with many places would have greater resolution, but many of those numbers might be meaningless.So, a single measurement of the height of a mountain for example, might be correct, (true value) but you don't necessarily have reason to be confident of the answer.
I do not really know what you are trying to establish. Perhaps the answer is 'The degree of accuracy'. Hope that helps.
Reliability!
