Precision   In science, the term precision describes the degree to which individual measurements vary around a central value. Measurements with high precision are highly reproducible because repeated measurement will reliably give a similar result; however, they may or may not be accurate. Precision relates to the statistical error associated with a measurement. Compare to accuracy. See the module Uncertainty.
