Accuracy and Precision is specification conforms to the correct value or a standard, and they are meaning the same thing of accurate or being exact, they're only difference is there spelling and they are defining each other.
precision and accuracy
accuracy. precision how closely the group of data are in relation to each other
Then they have precision but not accuracy.
Precision is how close your measurements are. Accuracy is how close your measurements are to the actual measurement.
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..
An accurate answer to a question answers the question. The precision depends on the level of accuracy of the answer.
Accuracy is a measure of how close to an absolute standard a measurement is made, while precision is a measure of the resolution of the measurement. Accuracy is calibration, and inaccuracy is systematic error. Precision, again, is resolution, and is a source of random error.
The article at the link below should help you get a handle on the subtle differences between accuracy and precision.
''Accuracy is the degree of closeness to true value. Precision is the degree to which an instrument or process will repeat the same value. In other words, accuracy is the degree of veracity while precision is the degree of reproducibility.
nothing
Accuracy and precision mean the exactly the same thing in this context.
Accuracy is how close the value that is measured to a true or standard value. While precision is referred as the degree of nearness of the measured values to one another in a repeated same value.
precision
Accuracy and precision are synonyms. They both mean without error, they are exactly right, No more and no less.
Precision is a writer's attention to accuracy in world choice.
