Question
which term correctly describes what this range tells us about the data? precise not precise accurate
Precision in data refers to how close repeated measurements are to each other. A range gives an idea of spread, and if the range is small, the data is precise; if large, not precise. Here, the question doesn't give details about accuracy (closeness to true - value), just asks about what the range says about the data in terms of precision - related concept.

If the range is small, the answer is precise; if the range is large, the answer is not precise. Since no information about the size of the range is given in the question itself, we can't definitively choose one of the provided options from the given information. But if we assume a general understanding that a range implies some spread and thus lack of tight - clustering, a more likely answer would be not precise.
