The figure below represents the bulls eye target for an archer. The black dots represent where the archer’s arrows hit:
How can this archer be described?
a. accurate
b. precise
c. accurate and precise
d. neither accurate nor precise
Please explain to me how I'm supposed to know what the "figure below" looks like.
THE FOUR CIRCLE, IN THE THIRD CIRCLE, THE DOT ARE IN IN CLOSE TOGETHER.
that is precise
To determine how the archer can be described, we need to understand the definitions of accuracy and precision in the context of archery.
Accuracy refers to how close the archer's arrows hit to the intended target. It measures how well the archer is able to consistently hit the center of the target.
Precision, on the other hand, refers to how closely the arrows hit to each other. It measures how repeatable the archer's shots are, regardless of whether they are hitting the intended target or not.
Looking at the figure and the black dots representing where the archer's arrows hit, we can see that the arrows are hitting the center of the target consistently. This indicates that the archer is accurate.
Furthermore, the arrows are closely grouped together, suggesting that they are hitting the same spot repeatedly, regardless of whether it is the center of the target or not. This indicates that the archer is precise.
Given that the archer is both accurate (hitting the intended target consistently) and precise (hitting the same spot repeatedly), the archer can be described as accurate and precise.
Therefore, the correct answer is option c. accurate and precise.
