yes accuracy is very much important in any kind of fields.forexample, when we are using inaccurate results in solving any problems of digital signal processing applications it will results in a larger variations in the output.so it can change the designing of a model which uses that output.

∙ 10y agoAccuracy is more important than precision. For example, let's say we have a bag of milk that weighs 1.333 kg. I can give you an accurate weight of 1.3 kg or I can give you a precise weight of 0.14876 kg. While the second number is more precise (more significant digits), it is not as accurate (error between actual and measurement).

What is concerned with the reproducibility of measurements?
The term repeatability is usd for an experiment realized by a single person.Reproductibility is used for an experiment realized by two or more persons.
How are accuracy and precision both important?
because they are both a reliable measurement and is both accurate and precise
How is the precision of a calculated result related to the precision of the measurements used in the calculation?
the precision of the answer must have the same number of significant digits as the measurement with the least significant digits- the site explains the rules and how to identify significant digits
If some measurements agree closely but differ widely from the actual value?
Then they have precision but not accuracy.
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.

What is the difference between the accuracy of measurements and the precision of measurements?
Precision is how close your measurements are. Accuracy is how close your measurements are to the actual measurement.
How is the precision is of a calculated result to the precision the measurements used in the calculator?
The precision of a calculated answer is limited by the least precise measurements used in the calculation.
How is the precision of a calculated result related to the precision of the measurements in the calculations?
The precision of a calculated answer is limited by the least precise measurements used in the calculation.
How are accuracy and precision important?
Accuracy is whether or not the average of all of the trials in a specific experiment is equal to the intended amount--it may have been given to you or you may have to do some calculations to determine the correct amount. Accuracy is important in an experiment so one can come up with the correct answer. One one to deter from having accurate measurements is having random or systematic errors (random=fault on experimenter's behalf, systematic=error in calibration of an istrument). Precision, on the other hand, entails the reproducibility of an experiment. This just means that all trial results were fairly close to each other. This does not necessarily mean the experiment was accurate, however, as precise measurements can be all close to each other but far away from the intended result. This could be the result of a systematic error. Accuracy and precision are both important to have in an experiment as it ensures both a correct result and reproducibility.
