Question

A hunter is practicing his aim using a practice target. He takes 5 shots. All 5 shots hit the target, but they do not hit or surround the bullseye. In addition, all 5 shots are very spread apart on the target. Classify the hunter's accuracy and precision.
a. High accuracy and high precision
b. High accuracy and low precision
c. Low accuracy and high precision
d. Low accuracy and low precision

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Accuracy refers to how close measurements are to the "true" value (which is the target in this case), while precision refers to how close measurements are to each other.

Since the arrows fall away from the bullseye and are spread out I would classify this as low accuracy and low precision.
