# If measurements for a given substance are close to the known value, but the measurements are far from each other, then you have _______ without _______. Fill the appropriate answers.

Accuracy, Precision

##### SOLUTION
Accuracy is defined as the extent upto which a given measurement agrees with the standard value for that measurement whereas the degree to which several measurement provide answer very close to each other is known as precision.
Since the measurements are close to the known value. so these measurements are accurate but these are far from each other, these are not precised.
