Which one matters the most?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Business success is defined as the achievement of company goals and objectives, including profitability, growth, innovation, customer loyalty, etc. While the definition of success might vary from company to company, it requires commitment, hard work, and dedication to get as close as possible to the desired results.<\/p>\n<p>But how do you measure results?<\/p>\n<p>Accuracy and precision can be defined as forms of measurement that demonstrate how close you are to your target. While accuracy is a measure of how close the final result is to the target, precision indicates how close the two values are to each other. While both methods are often used interchangeably in normal life, in terms of measurement in business, they are quite different. An accurate measurement is not always precise, and vice versa.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we will highlight the difference between accuracy and precision and explain how and when you should use each.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prohance.ai\/blog\/accuracy-vs-precision-in-business\/#What_is_Accuracy\" >What is Accuracy?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prohance.ai\/blog\/accuracy-vs-precision-in-business\/#What_is_Precision\" >What is Precision?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prohance.ai\/blog\/accuracy-vs-precision-in-business\/#So_Whats_the_Difference_Between_Accuracy_and_Precision\" >So, What\u2019s the Difference Between Accuracy and Precision?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prohance.ai\/blog\/accuracy-vs-precision-in-business\/#Accuracy_vs_Precision_The_Bullseye_Example\" >Accuracy vs. Precision: The Bullseye Example<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prohance.ai\/blog\/accuracy-vs-precision-in-business\/#Accuracy_vs_Precision_Which_is_More_Important\" >Accuracy vs Precision: Which is More Important?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prohance.ai\/blog\/accuracy-vs-precision-in-business\/#Accuracy_vs_Precision_Measure_and_Improve_Both\" >Accuracy vs Precision: Measure and Improve Both<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prohance.ai\/blog\/accuracy-vs-precision-in-business\/#Four_Strategies_for_Improving_Accuracy\" >Four Strategies for Improving Accuracy<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prohance.ai\/blog\/accuracy-vs-precision-in-business\/#1_Data_Cleaning_and_Validation\" >1.

Which one matters the most?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-accuracy\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Accuracy\"><\/span>What is Accuracy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Accuracy is a measure of understanding how close the final result is to the actual targeted value. High accuracy is determined by how close you are to your target value. Conversely, a low accuracy count is when you\u2019re way off the mark. Just one measure is enough to determine accuracy. However, repeatability is crucial to understand whether the same results can be maintained on a long-term basis.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll demonstrate this with an example. Let\u2019s say you\u2019ve decided to increase your customer base across your retail chain by 15% by the end of the fiscal year. If you hit your set value \u2013 exactly 15% \u2013 then you\u2019ve achieved 100% accuracy.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-precision\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Precision\"><\/span>What is Precision?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Precision is the study of determining how close your results are to one another. Unlike accuracy, which is measured just once, precision is measured repeatedly to determine its value. If your measured values are similar, it can be said that you\u2019ve achieved high precision. Disparate results indicate low precision. Measuring precision is beneficial in two scenarios:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To avoid repeating mistakes<\/li>\n<li>To establish a process for reproducing similar success from before<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let\u2019s continue with the above example. If all your outlets registered a similar increase in customers, say by 9%, you can say the results are highly precise but not accurate.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"so-whats-the-difference-between-accuracy-and-precision\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"So_Whats_the_Difference_Between_Accuracy_and_Precision\"><\/span>So, What\u2019s the Difference Between Accuracy and Precision?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Despite both being forms of measurement, accuracy and precision are not the same. We\u2019ll highlight the main accuracy and precision difference with the example of a bullseye.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"accuracy-vs-precision-the-bullseye-example\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accuracy_vs_Precision_The_Bullseye_Example\"><\/span>Accuracy vs. Precision: The Bullseye Example<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Imagine you\u2019re throwing darts at a bullseye. The goal is to hit the center of the board, accurately and precisely. So you need to hit the bullseye as often as possible. Accuracy is when your dart lands close to or on the bullseye, and precision is when your darts land close to each other.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re accurate, it means you have hit the target, but not every time. And if you\u2019re precise, then your darts are all landing close to the same spot, which is not necessarily the bullseye. But when you\u2019re accurate AND precise, that means your darts are hitting the bullseye every time.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"accuracy-vs-precision-which-is-more-important\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accuracy_vs_Precision_Which_is_More_Important\"><\/span>Accuracy vs Precision: Which is More Important?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If accuracy and precision are both forms of measurement, which one does a business need the most? The answer is: Both.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you are low on funds or time, you might not be able to get both. In that case, it is better to aim for accuracy. But remember, precision is also important for long-term success.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"accuracy-vs-precision-measure-and-improve-both\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accuracy_vs_Precision_Measure_and_Improve_Both\"><\/span>Accuracy vs Precision: Measure and Improve Both<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By understanding the difference between accuracy and precision, leaders find it easier to make informed decisions and optimize business processes.
