Concept

The accuracy of voltmeter is given by:

% Accuracy = 

Precision is based on the deviation of readings from the mean

Calculation

Given readings are 204 V, 205 V, 203 V, 205 V and 203 V

% Accuracy = 

% Accuracy = 2%

Mean = 204 V 

Maximum deviation from mean = 204 - 203 = 1V

Precision = 0.5%
