The more precise values will be closer to each other, while the most accurate values will be closest to the true value.

What is precision and accuracy in an experiment?

Precision refers to the closeness of results obtained in a experiment.

When the values are very close to each other they are said to be precise. The closer the values are to each other, the more precision in the result.

Accuracy refers to how close the obtained values are to the true value. The  closer the obtained values are to the true value, the more accurate, the value.

Since no table was attached, it can be concluded that the more precise values will be closer to each other, while the most accurate values will be closest to the true value.
