accuracy and precision of measurements
Accuracy refers to how close a measured value is to the true value or target value. It represents the correctness or trueness of a measurement. Precision, on the other hand, refers to the consistency or reproducibility of measured values. It indicates the degree of exactness or reliability in repeated measurements.
