Does percent error give indication of accuracy or precision? discuss.

Accuracy

Explanation:

Percent error is the ratio of the difference of the measured and actual value to  the actual value multiplied by 100.

It gives the percent deviation of the value obtained from the actual value.

Accuracy is the measure of how close the readings are to the actual value or set standard and can be improved by increase the no. of readings in an experiment.

Precision is the measure of the closeness of the obtained values to one another.

Thus accuracy of the reading can be sensed by the percent error.
