Difference of accuracy, accuracy and error in measurement

Accuracy

 

The proximity of a measurement is real. In other words, in the worst case, a set of measurements is close to the real distance.

 

Precision

 

The proximity of a set of measurements to each other. In other words, accuracy gives us information about the measurement’s repeatability.

 

Error

 

The difference is the measured value with the actual value.
