Accuracy :
1. Accuracy refers to nearness of the measured value to the true value.
2. Accuracy represents the correctness of the measurement.
3. Accuracy is expressed in terms of absolute error and relative error.
4. Accuracy takes into account the true or accepted value.
5. Accuracy can be determined by a single measurement.
6. High accuracy implies smaller error.
Precision :
1. Precision refers to closeness of multiple readings of the same quantity.
2. Precision represents the agreement between two or more measured values.
3. Precision is expressed in terms of absolute deviation and relative deviation.
4. Precision does not take into account the true or accepted value.
5. Several measurements are required to determine precision.
6. High precision implies reproducibility of the readings.
