Explanation of Solution

When compared to a measurement's actual value, accuracy is the degree of correctness.

Conversely, precision refers to the degree to which two or more measurements match each other.

To put it simply, precision refers to how accurate and consistent the experiment's measurement is.

Accuracy, on the other hand, measures how well the measurements in an experiment match an ideal or acceptable value.
