Answer:

An accurate measurement is one that comes close to the correct value, while precision is how close together a number of measurements are. Both accuracy and precision are important to scientific measurement. Having a value that is reproducible, or having good precision for a measurement, is only useful if the values being obtained are close to the true value.
