Distinguish between accuracy and precision.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Accuracy: It indicates the closeness of a measurement to the true value of given quantity.
If the measurement is nearer to true value then accuracy is more.
Precision: Precision of a measuring instrument depends on the limit (or) resolution of the quantity measured with that instrument.
IF the least measurable value is less, then precision is more for that instrument.
