what is precision versus accuracy?

OpenStudy (onepieceftw):

Precision is getting the same result repeatedly. Accuracy is getting the desired result. Like playing darts, you can be accurate and get a bull-eye or you can be precise and get a grouping and you can be accurate and precise getting a grouping on the bulls-eye.

Welcome to Openstudy @cheyenne786 ! Accuracy is how close the measured value is to the actual value. Precision is how close the different measured values to each other. If you are satisfied with the help that you got, you can close this question so that you can ask another one :)
