Question 3 of 25 An online weather report says the temperature is between \( 40^{\circ} \) and \( 50^{\circ} \), when it is really \( 54,4^{\circ} \) outside. Which of the following is true? A. The weather report is accurate, but not precise, B. The weather report is both accurate and precise, C. The weather report is precise, but not accurate, D. The weather report is neither accurate nor precise,

To determine whether the weather report is **accurate**, **precise**, both, or neither, let's define the terms: - **Accuracy** refers to how close a reported value is to the true value. - **Precision** refers to the consistency or specificity of the reported values. Given: - **True temperature:** \(54.4^{\circ}\) - **Weather report:** Between \(40^{\circ}\) and \(50^{\circ}\) **Analysis:** 1. **Accuracy:** - The true temperature (\(54.4^{\circ}\)) is **outside** the reported range (\(40^{\circ}\) to \(50^{\circ}\)). - **Conclusion:** The report is **not accurate**. 2. **Precision:** - The report provides a specific range (\(40^{\circ}\) to \(50^{\circ}\)), indicating a certain level of detail. - Even though the range is broad, it consistently provides this specific interval. - **Conclusion:** The report is **precise** in its range specification. **Final Determination:** - The weather report is **precise** but **not accurate**. **Answer:** C. The weather report is precise, but not accurate.
