I'm leaning towards D) Accurate but distributed. Sounds like a dataset that's on point but all over the place, kind of like my sock drawer after laundry day.

Gotta be B) Accurate but not precise. Reminds me of my ex-girlfriend - centered on the target but all over the place. Good times, good times.

Definitely, precision is all about consistency while accuracy is about closeness to the target.

Yeah, it makes sense. The data is close to the target but not consistent.

I'm going with C) Precise but skewed. If the data is centered around the target, it's precise, but the wide dispersion makes it skewed. Sounds like the right answer to me.

But wouldn't being widely disbursed mean it's not accurate?

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Maybe D) Accurate but distributed? That seems to fit the description of a centered but widely dispersed dataset.

I think the answer is B) Accurate but not precise. The question is asking about a set of data that is centered around the target value, but widely dispersed, which sounds like an accurate but not precise dataset.
