Q. A student calculates the result of an experiment as 1.65, 1.72 and 1.89... But when he checks the answer, it comes out to be 2.35. What would it be called? A = No precision and no accuracy. B = No precision but accurate. C = No accuracy but precise. D = Accurate and precise. - @AllTehMaffs I think its A ..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Gah, my internet is not happy with me. It's C They're precise because they're all pretty consistent with each other, but they're not accurate because they aren't consistent with the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_and_precision Haha, they're probably right, but I figured they were far enough away from the answer. The dart example is the best one, under "Terminology" I'm just being a poor loser

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
