Question

Explain the difference between accuracy and precision

Answer 1

Precision is a description of random errors, a measure of statistical variability. Accuracy has 2 different definitions but the more common of the 2 is accuracy is systematic errors or errors that you control

Answer 2

Precision is more like consistency. Take a rifle range for example. Sure, all the shots may be off centered, but if they're tightly grouped together, it shows that the shooter had precision in their shooting. Accuracy is how close to spot on the attempts or shots generally are. They would end up more towards the center, but a little more spread out.
