Accuracy vs. Precision

What appears to be a messy laundry basket holds a greater hidden meaning.  This is my basket of laundry.  Clothes hang from the sides, fall short, and lay in the small space between the basket and the closet door.  But what does this have to do with Physics?  

Everyday, my basket serves as a "hoop" as I "drain" free throws from my dresser.  Unfortunately, I don't have the best free throw average.  The bulk of my clothes are behind my basket.  Some make it around the sides and fall short, and even fewer actually make it into the basket.  

My poor shooting make for the perfect science lesson on Accuracy vs Precision.  Its obvious that I have poor accuracy.  This is because I hit the desired target less 20% of the time and shamefully have to pick up my clothes whenever guests come over.  Accuracy is how close you are to getting the result you want to, which I clearly failed to do.  But, I have high precision because for about 70% of the time I hit the little space between the back of my basket and the closet door behind it.  Precision is getting the same value multiple times.  In this case, its overshooting and making it into the space behind the basket.

A Physics lesson can be made of the most practical things.
