Exit Ticket What is the difference between precision and accuracy?
Skye is learning how to fire a bow and arrow, and she is becoming a pro quickly. She fires three arrows and her coach tells her any average above a 7.5 is pretty accurate. If 10 is the bulls-eye, and Skye hit a 6, 8, and a 10, does she have a good accuracy? Is her precision better? Justify your answer. When finished please turn your sheet into the tray.
