When we measure things, most people are only worried about how accurate, or how close to the actual value, they are. Looking at the process of measurement more carefully, you will see that there is another important consideration: precision. Matt Anticole explains what exactly precision is and how can help us to measure things better.

In simple word,
Precision = more and more accurate

According to IGCSE Textbooks;
Accuracy: How close to the actual answer you are
Precision: The number of decimal points after the significant figures before the decimal point.
Hit or miss I guess they never miss huh?
and precision with her mouth

I think that story was enough without the space stuff.

this is a lit vid WOW??!!!!!
Me, a foreigner: there’s a difference?
Accuracy = can he actually hit the apple?
Precision = how many times can he hit the apple?

mrs. mairajuddin gang where you at
I feel like people are saying this is a great explanation because it has really nice animation, a pleasant voice, and someone speaking confidently. I don’t find this to be an exceptionally useful way of understanding the distinction, and it seems like most of the experts in the comments don’t understand it well enough to apply it to a tangible problem, either.
Also as someone who actively studies linguistics (the “science of language”), language doesn’t belong to any one group; the fact that the hard sciences have found this distinction really valuable doesn’t mean that people casually using “accurate” and “precise” as synonyms are wrong, it simply means that words can mean more than one thing, and also that one thing can be described by multiple words.
This helps so much
