The system will 'overshoot' in each direction so it doesn't short-cycle. For cooling, it may cut off at 74, then not re-start until the temperature goes up to 76. The average temperature will be 75.
If it didn't do that, even the smallest air change around the thermostat could cause the system to start and stop, maybe even every second.
