Answer: the thermometer is precise, but not accurate. :)

Step-by-step explanation:

I just took the test on Apex and got it right, but to explain this answer:

the more places past the decimal a number has, the more precise it is. :)

31.08°F is precise because it’s got two places past the decimal but isn’t accurate because it’s not super close to 32.6°F :)

i hope that helped! and remember apex sucks:)

The thermometer is precise, but not accurate.

What is accuracy?

The degree of closeness of measurements of a quantity to its real value is the accuracy of a measuring system.

What is precision?

The degree to which repeated measurements under the same conditions produce the same findings is the precision of a measuring system, which is linked to reproducibility and repeatability.

When does a system has precision but not accuracy?

If there is a systematic mistake in an experiment, increasing the sample size often improves precision but not accuracy.

Which option is correct?

Since the temperature of 32.6 °F is shown 31.08 °F which means the true value of the temperature is not shown. That means the value is not accurate.

But the value is calculated for the hundredth place which means the value is precise.

Hence, option C) is correct. That means the thermometer is precise but not accurate.
