Answer 1

A digital thermometer that reports a temperature of 32.6 F as being 31.08 F is precise but not accurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given situation describes a digital thermometer that reports a temperature of 32.6 F as being 31.08 F. In this case, the thermometer is reporting a temperature that is lower than the actual temperature. Therefore, the thermometer is not accurate. However, if the thermometer consistently reports a temperature of 31.08 F when the actual temperature is 32.6 F, it is considered precise. Therefore, the correct answer is D. The thermometer is precise, but not accurate.
