Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between accuracy and precision in measurements?

Accuracy can only be achieved with high precision.

Accuracy and precision are the same and can be used interchangeably.

Accuracy refers to the closeness of a measurement to the true value, while precision refers to the closeness of multiple measurements to each other. (correct)

Precision is more important than accuracy when taking measurements.
