More precise but not necessarily more accurate.
Precision is how exact the number is (e.g. 5.21945 is more precise than 5.2)
Accuracy is how close the answer is to the actual result (e.g. If the actual mass is 2.000 kg, 1.9 kg is more accurate than 1.876 kg, even though 1.876 kg is a more precise number).
