ACCURACY :-
Accuracy refers to the closeness of a measured value to a standard Or known value value.
For Example :-
If in lab you obtain a weight measurement of 3.2 kg for a given substance , but the actual Or known weight is 10 k.g , then your measurement is not accurate.
In this case , your measurement is not close to the known value.
PRECISION :-
Precision refers to the closeness of two Or more measurements to each other.
Using the example above :-
If you weigh a given substance five times , and get 3.2 k.g each time , then your measurement is very precise.
Precision is independent of accuracy.
You can be very precise but inaccurate , as described above.
You can also be accurate but imprecise.
