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.
Accuracy. How close you are to your expected value. Precision. How close together you values are.
The word precise is an adjective, a word that describes a noun. The noun forms are preciseness or precision. The appropriate pronoun for those nouns is it.

A Precision Number is the number of digits in a number.
The precision of a calculated answer is limited by the least precise measurements used in the calculation.

Poor accuracy Good precision
Precision is how close your measurements are. Accuracy is how close your measurements are to the actual measurement.
Precision describes how close repeated measurements are to each other. It reflects the consistency and reproducibility of a measurement. A high precision indicates that the measurements are tightly grouped around the true value.
Accuracy. How close you are to your expected value. Precision. How close together you values are.

Precision describes how close measurements are to each other. It indicates the level of consistency and repeatability in a set of measurements. The more precise the measurements, the closer they are to each other.
The word precision is both a noun and an adjective; examples:Adjective: Acme makes precision instruments.Noun: Acme makes instruments with precision.The noun form for the adjective precise is preciseness.
Accuracy refers to how close a measured value is to the true value, while precision refers to the consistency of repeated measurements. In other words, accuracy is related to correctness, while precision is related to repeatability. A measurement can be precise but not accurate if the values are consistently off by a certain amount, and it can be accurate but not precise if the values vary widely with each measurement.
The word precise is an adjective, a word that describes a noun. The noun forms are preciseness or precision. The appropriate pronoun for those nouns is it.
