In this tutorial we are going to talk about the difference between accuracy and precision when it comes to measurement techniques. The accuracy of a measurement is how close the measurement is to the true value of the quantity being measured. The precision of a measurement is how close a number of measurements of the same quantity agree with each other. The tutorial will illustrate this through some examples and give you some useful tips.
