(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Among the given targets of Cheryl, Cynthia, Carmen and Chastity at Girl Scout camp, the accurate and precise target has to be properly matched.

Concept Introduction:

Accuracy:

When the value of measurement done lies close to the true or standard or known value, it refers to accuracy. In simple sentence, accuracy refers to nearness to the “true” value.

Precision:

When two or more measurements give a consistent value, then it refers to Precision. In other words, precision terms the reproducibility of a result.

To Match: The accurate and precise target among the targets of Cheryl, Cynthia, Carmen and Chastity at Girl Scout camp.
