Question 2 • Physical Science Sem 1 (2003310) BCPS 2026-27

The list shows the results of six athletes competing in the long jump, which has a target distance of 20 feet.12 feet, 11 feet, 13 feet, 10 feet, 20 feet, 12 feet

Answer
A
fairly accurate but not precise
B
fairly precise but not accurate
C
not precise and not accurate
D
fairly precise and fairly accurate

Explanation

Five results are between 10 and 13 feet, so the jumps are fairly close to one another and therefore fairly precise. But those results are well below the 20-foot target, so the group is not accurate overall. The 20-foot result is an outlier and does not make the set accurate.
