Precision is the degree of accuracy, exactness and distinctness of something.
For instance, when referring to a dollar amount, one might say an item costs $4.00 when the precise amount is actually $3.99.
Another example might be when you are looking to purchase a house, if you want a 2-car garage, you will use precision in searching for only houses with 2-car garages; not 1-car garages.
A last example may be when you are making a recipe, you use precision by precisely measuring the ingredients. Rather than haphazardly dipping sugar into a tablespoon, you would use precision by using a measuring spoon labeled tablespoon, carefully filling it and precisely leveling it at the top of the spoon.
