The best description of the attempt where the darts landed all over the board and far away from each other and from the bullseye is "neither accurate nor precise."

Here's why:

  • Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true value or target (in this case, the bullseye).
  • Precision refers to how consistently you can hit the same spot (which would be close together).

Since the darts are spread out and not near the bullseye, they are neither hitting the target accurately nor are they clustered together precisely.
