Precision and Accuracy Accuracy occurs when the data collected is very close to the expected value(s). In a dartboard example, accuracy is shown by being closer to the center or "bullseye." Precision occurs when the numbers in the data set are very close to one another. In a dartboard example, precision is shown by a cluster of darts being close together. The person throwing the darts in this image was attempting to hit the bullseye, which is the smallest red circle in the very middle of the board. The darts landed all over the board and far away from each other, making this attempt neither accurate nor precise. What is the BEST description of this attempt? accurate only precise and accurate not accurate and not precise precise only

Answer 1

The BEST description of this attempt is "not accurate and not precise." The darts are spread out all over the board and are not close to the bullseye, indicating a lack of accuracy. Additionally, since the darts are not clustered together, it shows a lack of precision as well.
