No- these words have different meaning. "Approximately " means close- within a reasonable difference from the value stated - "exactly" means no deviation from the stated value.

Examples: Bob weighed approximately 200 pounds -- means his actual weight was somewhere close to 200 maybe 196 or 204 or so,

Bob weighed exactly 200 pounds -- means that 200 was the reading on the scale when he stepped on and suggests that the scale was an accurate one.

Does the speedometer have poor precision or poor accuracy?

Poor precision. Precision refers to the consistency of repeated measurements, while accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true value. If a speedometer consistently shows a speed that is off by a fixed amount from the actual speed (e.g., always reads 5 mph higher), it has poor accuracy. If it fluctuates widely even for the same speed, it has poor precision.
